Church, The
Priest u003d Aura
We all came back from the war
I wish somebody would tell me the score
We raked old poseidon over the coals
Shook his shells, shaved his shoals
Where can a soldier fix himself a drink
Forget the noise, forget the stink
And the opium is running pretty low
'cause when the pain comes back, i don't want to know
Across yonder ocean the natives are fierce
Their ears are filled their teeth are pierced
But it's not their spears that spill your breath
They kill their enemies by loving them to death
We were on some battlefield
I felt something soft go through my shield
I felt something warm enter my guts
I was bleeding bad but there were no cuts
They captured three of us, took us back to their village
After a long long time i could decipher their language
They worshipped baal, they worshipped the sun
They worshipped the son of the evil one
They were more than voracious, they sucked our ambition
They let me go on one condition
That was when i came back to my native shore
I tell you they don't want to play with us anymore
But a part of me will never be free
And the part that's free will never be me
But a thing of love and beauty is in my head
A message from my enemies, and here's what they said
They said that love u003d hate
And death u003d fate
An enemy always u003d an adorer
But priest u003d aura
And life u003d time
And time u003d space
And space u003d sublime
And human u003d race
Oh and woman u003d man
And pot u003d pan
The fauna ought to equal the flora
But priest u003d aura
And beginning u003d the end
The end always u003d the start
But straight u003d bent
The mind sometimes u003d the heart
And you u003d me
The land u003d the sea
Richer u003d poorer
And priest u003d aura
