Songs Lyrics This is the age of cancer - creeping through the borders Breaking down defenses from within This is the age of cancer - occupying the body Confusing all the issues of the soul Oh and they say they'll pay us for digging our own graves So they all come running saying look at the fortunes we've made Then their told to dig faster - cause it's the age of cancer And the band plays on This is the age of cancer giving birth to more decay Giving license for the victims to be slayed This is the age of cancer whose cure cannot be found For it feeds on indifference and delay Oh and the doctors say its under control As they look from their window and it eats away at their soul And they starve as they grow fatter for its the age of cancer And the band plays on Oh and my sister shes sitting over there And she sings and she plays and she lights her little candles everywhere But it don't really matter - cause its the age of cancer And the band plays on

Songs Lyrics Oh the enemy comes under the sign of salvation But the people don't recognize him - nor his evil intention And they say - why should we fear when they say we love you Well I say - Oh you better beware when the bears come to hug you You know they don't really love you Oh the inquisitor arrives with his new world religion He's got the pope and the terrorist - together on his mission Chorus Oh the suicide ball - going to be a big celebration The executioner smiles - when he receives his invitation (Chorus)

Songs Lyrics Henaini, here I am, Henaini Here I am, Henaini, Henaini What do you want of me What can I give to thee If there is more, more than I can be Henaini For what am I next to thee I'm but a drop in the sea But when you call I will answer thee, Henaini. (Chorus) Oh Israel you're bride to be She is calling to me And I will answer faithfully Henaini And if I must stand before my enemies You alone are my security And I will say, as my fathers did before me Henaini (Chorus) For what am I next to thee What do I have that you haven't given me So when you call I will answer thee Henaini

Songs Lyrics You can talk about fighting for your rights I don't care much for rights I'd rather have obligations You can say you've been sold and you want back your gold But you and I know your just a slave of your own temptations You can't lie to me about His-story and Her-story Or My-story Cause you know - I'm a witness Long ago I held the law and you saw and you said You'd rather pursue your own interests You can say your a dove - a terrorist of love But it's funny how you always exspect me to protect you Instead of gratitude I get an attitude - You say i'm cruel And I'm a bigger fool - Cause I even let you And there's nothing new under the sun - it's all the same Increasing wisdom - Increases pain Well you can talk about unity and you and me and one nation of brotherhood Well that's good but what exactly is the meaning of your mission You say you want to right all the wrongs - you learned your protest songs But was it really he or she or them or it who put you under these conditions You talk about the new world order - You want to remove all the borders Definitions and religions and then maybe you'll be satisfied You want to give rights to everybody even those who don't give rights to others You call them your brothers but the truth is they've really got you terrified Chorus Now the people of the book become the people of the checkbook Blaming all their problems on the only one who really could have saved them The tragedy my friend is what happens now happened then Even so you don't want to know You'd rather make the same mistakes - And pay for them The ones who once revealed the invisible sadly become practitioners of ritual Blaming the stick instead of seeing the hand that shakes it Terrified of what the nations say - Instead of fearing the one to whome they pray Blaming Him for the promise He keeps - While they continually break it And in His anger he sent a King and in His wrath He took him away Because we didn't want to listen to the words he had to say So now were being sentenced Divine glory must be revealed - Upon our flesh it will be sealed Even among those who have not yet - Grasped the meaning of repentence Chorus A Nation comanded to dwell alone - How good it is to be free To study the meaning of the burden that I carry The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the L-rd - He ain't no Santa Clause He carries a sword and brother it's scary You know the missiles will continue to fall if we don't heed the call And return to learn about the beauty of the Kingdom - that we are heir to But some would rather die under this foreign sun than to be What they were born to become - to give of themselves They say no we don't really care to (Chorus)

Songs Lyrics How satisfying to condemn the culprits Who only act reflexively of your sin But tell me who's the one who let them in - are you not him? How simple to sigh and say it's not you nor I But do nothing but cry about the destoyers from within Are you not him? Throw out the scoundrels Throw out the scoundrels now Take back the land with your own hand If you won't do it I'll show you how How foolish to have faith in the ones who hate You dare to demand for the devil who destroyed your little dove Was it not your misplaced love? How pitifull to pray for the annointed one each day While you bury your dead and you say the masters are cruel But you allow them to rule (Chorus)

Songs Lyrics Bye Bye Babylon I can't keep leading you on Though my flesh still melts At the touch of your hand It's just not the Promised Land I'm leaving all of this behind Nothing here is really mine Got to find my oasis in the sand Back in the Promised Land There's a judge and there's a trial I'm hoping to exchange my file If I can prove that I can walk and I can stand Within the Promised Land I'm just a ghost That's what I've become Too much to taste Will make you numb Got to return My body to my soul - if I still can She's waiting in the Promised Land (Chorus)

Songs Lyrics Im a son of as prophet but a fatherless child An ace in the hole but the jokers gone wild A watchman's friend but my boat keeps sinkin In the lions den I can't get much sleepin but I try And I try and I try Just don't think I'm going to make it baby, oh no At the touch of your hand It's just not the Promised Land I'm a water from the well but there's a hole in the bucket I'm a rich man's friend but I don't really want it I'm a lonely boy looking for his lover But it's hard to see when your working under cover (Chorus)

Songs Lyrics Sweet Angel you rescued me in the night I saw you from a distance you drew me into your light It was you who gave me shelter and led me to the place Where the fountain springs eternal and beauty has no face Sweet angel you renewed me with your breath You reached into my inner being and saved me from my death And though the mountains crumble beneath my feet I will not tremble no I will not weep For what you have given me today I can't forget No, I'm forever in your debt Sweet Angel with your kisses like prayers And your coat of many colors and your beauty beyond compare How did you find me how did this come to be I didn't even know I was looking for you Or you were looking for me Sweet Angel you put our the raging fire That blinded me and seperated me from my true desire Chorus Sweet Angel with the rope braids in your hair And the beams of light a shining from the silver star you wear How can I repay you for the riches you bestow I have nothing here of value compared to the jewels you hold Sweet Angel you unlocked the heavenly gate My soul flie up into your arms where the angels congregate Chorus

Songs Lyrics Oh the far off flashes of lightning Serve to warn of the doom that's approaching And the prophets return to inform them But they blame and defame and they scorn them And the winds of destruction are blowing But the candles resist them by glowing And as the cloaks of deception are lifted And the pearls in the sands are sifted And the houses are filled with learning And the six million souls are returning And it's the final revolution And it's the oldest one of all And it's the final evolution Between the mighty and the small And the battle will not be fought with flowers Nor by those who dwell in ivory towers But in the desert where the heat grows hotter And the should reach out for water Between the hearts and the mind that it opposes Between the law of the land and the law of Moses Between Goliath and the sons of David Between what's sordid and what is sacred Between the seekers of truth and the heartless The holy sparks against a multitude of darkness (Chorus) And when the fire submits to the candle And the pot is as great as it's handle And when pride is not cherished as a virtue And when modesty is not seen as a curfew And when the rich are known as the faithful And the poor are seen as the ungrateful And the phantom refugees of falsehood Who demand their imaginary statehood From the soul of it's rightful ruler Who would have sold his birthright much sooner Had it not been for the fighters of the ghetto And for the oil that still burns in the temple But it's better to be divided in the battle Than to be slaughtered together like cattle And the victims who despise their own religion And who plead with the torturer to inflict them They will be lost in the battle to resist them And indifference is the gateway to extinction For they are starving in a land of plenty With foreign gods they feast and still their empty But the children of a lost generation Have returned to rebuild the Holy Nation (Chorus)
