[Verse 1]
God, King above all other gods
Lead us now, so we can walk wherein the prophets said that we would trod
Buddha, tell a sutra like a spell
Teach us well to answer silence with the calling of bells
Allah, bring us to a good alarm
Subjugate our wills to answer you like a mighty arm

[Verse 2]
Elohim is a pillar of light in the dark
And leading all his people to light
For he's the king of the fire
He brings the fire into everything that's living on Earth
In the Sun, in the stars
Take a spark of it deep within you
Put it to the test, it will do the rest, I confess
It will be like climbing up Mount Everest
I can't express the view from there
But it's for you to follow through

[Verse 3]
Lama, show the power's bright array
Bless the climb and settle peace upon the universe's dark display
And Jesus, remember every promise made
Present Yourself in the middle of the prayers that we made
Vishnu, preserve us all along the way
Keep us clear of the final thunderbolt of the judgement day
Hear me and hear what I, what I ask for today, Fathers
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Way off at the far leftern shelf of the world
Up in a house right on the edge of everything
Where the time is tumbling in a vortex
The nexus of timetable tides
In the final lighthouse at shining Earth's ending
At the spinning of the finishing of sweeping time
Driving silence like a stampeding careening wash in charging advance
Digging the sound of passing everything away into the secret of eternity's pivot dance
Breaking down, crashing doorways
Bashing through dream place
Smash, unlash, efface
Everything goes to the open mouth of Kali Ma
Where the vault of Heaven opens

[Verse 5]
A witness as lonely as forgotten tears
Keeps up a vigil watching all, even light go out
One witness, one child digging the slaving wheel of meat
Spitting out, taking up everything by the roots
Pulling out the lot of what has passed into the past like a dream
She knows what is gone, gone over
Everyone that is done and unbegun
And starting from the super microcosmic
No bug all the way to super huge galactic suns
And she knows the beginning is coming in the sweep at the end of all
Even gods have passed over, away
Then one day, the shadow of a priest on the horizon appeared
He wasn't taken up into the swirling
He walked with purpose
All the while digging his heels into the bedrock like a man
But as he came into view, the witness saw
His eyes were crying
Tears like blood fell to earth
As he watched Heaven disappear in the void
Up the drain into the paraboloid
Realizing it all, everything, everywhere, into his eyes
Seeing that all he had beloved went out of itself and away
Here in this last ever surge of a day
Tearing all meaning away
And to the witness's indifference, he had this to say
[Verse 6]
"I know about birth, I know about death
And how the light goes out of men
The life departing, powerless, giving it up
But in the vast indifference, I invent a deeper meaning
I'm the one who will say
'Use the will every day or go mad trying'
Go to war against the impotent side of living
Use every power you're given to stand and act like a man
And pray every day to every God
Strike the bowl of Heaven and the ringing will become a law
Build bridges where you need to go
Bring the fire of enlightenment here to life below
Speak mercy to the things you meet
Listen up to hear the whispering of the blood you bleed
Stay awake, no mistake
Dance the dream awake and awake"

[Outro]
For the love, for the love
Love, love, love, love
