Orchard of pomegranates The fruits are made of cyphers A secret hidden deep I've seen it all still none the wiser
Akiva stands before me His heart and mind malformed “Follow me or be like the others” He said I have been warned
I would not stand against her The bride's distorted form Her face, a swarm of tentacles She is divine, we are but worms But if this is divinity If this is what fate concealed I'd rather tear down every tree Than give my soul and yield
Akiva's eyes are like stones Gray as the clouds of the night He knows the answer, he whispered Given to him by the monster in white
He will gather the faithful And declare a war against Rome He will find and anoint his Messiah And all will die in this storm
I would not stand against her The bride's distorted form Her face, a swarm of tentacles She is divine, we are but worms But if this is divinity If this is what fate concealed I'd rather tear down every tree Than give my soul and yield
I tried to get Ben-Zuma to safety Fooling Akiva that I've joined his cause “Akiva is mad” babbled my friend “And our death will be his applause” We barely reached the town of Yavne And I left him on the porch of a whore “Aren't you Ben-Abuya the wise?” She asked, letting her words explore
“You are mistaken, Madam” I answered And I gave her two silvers and left “Must've been some other” I heard her voice carry Hoping it is not too late
As I come to the garden of Yavne Surrounded by Akiva's lies
Toiling and tearing the roots of the garden As I wait for the Sabbath to die
“Blasphemy!” carried the voice of the people Stricken I now realize
The Bride of white will not take hold In this world or the next For the next world is a mere illusion And this one is here to vex This is the God who waits in heaven This is the bible's lie I will meet her eventually, At least I'll live before I'll dieTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
