LAST DAY ON EARTH I heard the artists' graves Have been bulldozed and paved They have been emptied Right through the belly Could this be our last day on Earth? The so-called leaders rage They're laughing at the sage Who sits in prison For no reason Could this be our last day on Earth? This verse might blow your mind If a kind soul spoke tonight An angry legion Would beat and nail him Could this be our last day on Earth? Watch the child He wants to know the truth He's asking questions and digging at the root

“The Last Known Survivor” I am the last known survivor of this human race I guess I’ll get up from my bed and wash my face Pretty soon I’ll venture out and take a look The road is hot and dusty, but I need to move The comfort of this shelter will not keep me sane Won’t keep me sane As I step out from my hideout, I can see the sun I once read this is how the human race begun But I can see the vultures circling high above I wonder if I’ll never know the light of love I guess I’ll find out on this journey in due time In due time I can see there’s no one on this road I’m just a lonely traveler searching for someone But please remember I’m not the one who stole the life from everyone Please don’t curse my name, please don’t curse my name On the ground I can feel the sweat pouring down my brow I think I need to drink, or I just can’t go on Is that a green oasis in the distant field? If I can crawl closer, what will it reveal? A cruel mirage or an endless spring Or an endless spring I can see there’s no one on this road I’m just a lonely traveler searching for someone But please remember I’m not the one who stole the life from everyone Please don’t curse my name, please don’t curse my name I am the last known survivor of this human race I am left with nothing, but I’ll take my place I guess I’ll speak my mind for those in outer space I believe in peace and love so take your aim You can find my traveling on this open road On this open road

The moon and the sun and the stars in the sky, they surround me The moon and the sun and the stars in the sky, they surround me Although I have my feet on the ground I'm dreaming of another world Now you might ask why I must go This started off when I was young with a question of why Why, with a question of why Why And now I can see where the questions I've asked have led me And now I can see where the questions I've asked have bled me I have inhaled the stench of the crowd I'm ready to go and leave this place Now you might ask why I must go This started off when I was young with a question of why Why, with a question of why Why With a question of why (x4) And now I am finally free from man I am peaceful And now I am finally free from man and its wonderful Now you might say I've gone nowhere Although we are worlds apart Take my hand if I'm visible This started off when I was young with a question of why Why, with a question of why Why, with a question of why The moon and the sun and the stars in the sky, they surround me (why, with a question of why) (x4)

The Universe 04:29
You are the universe Your eyes move space and time You plan my demise That's why you're perfect in my eyes You've replaced other gods I've made a golden shrine You own my life That's why I call you my divine You're my divine Touch me in the night A red dragon dressed in white Set off the earth tonight Make my eyes go blind You want complete control Come here and treat me like a swine Oh, my divine Touch me in the night A red dragon dressed in white One leg in the flood The other leg in the fire Still I climb your stairs To see the chaos that you've done That you have done
