The sphinx awakens But what can she say You'd be amazed Down there
Your days are numbers
Nothing to fear
There will be trumpets
There will be silence
In the end the end Will be here just here
Ahh the borders of heaven Are zipped up tight tonight
The abstract streets
The lights like some switched on Mondrian
Cats like us are obsolete
Hey Man don't breathe on my feet
Thieves, poets we're inside out
And everybody's a soldier
Angels howl at those abstract lights
And the borders of heaven
Are zipped up tight tonight
Up there
There's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man It serves everyone
The air we breathe The flame of wisdom The earth we grind The beckoning sea
It's no mystery Not sentimental
Ahh the equation It's all elemental
The world is restless Heaven in flux Angels appear From the bright storm Out of the shadows Up there, down there But what can we say
Man's been forewarned
All communion is not holy
Even those that fall
They can prophet understanding It's all for man It's for everyone
It's up there, down there
Everywhere Everywhere
Time for communion Time for communion
Talking communion ...
