An obscene prophet from a barren land
An eastern king in a house of fools
This heart of glass was easily broken
The dancing devils let the Dice Man roll
Well let the winds of change blow you away
You have an option your problem is over
I love to see a man at his primitive best
For pure intent is all he demands
The splintered voice of a thousand years
The melted figures form us a landscape
Too many hours on the pressure line
Open to suggestions time after time
Give us the air where progression can breathe
We glory in the pleasure of a simple thirst
The avenues of sin we built on thin ice
Bohemian gestures is that all we’re worth
Reluctant messiah the coward’s reward
Deaf to the whisper numb to it all
Reluctant messiah the coward’s reward
Deaf to the whisper numb to it all
