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

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
