Dead Sea

(album: Mach Schau - 2004)

I saw God on the mountain
In some burning bushes
I heard God in the desert
In a cave of whispers
Moving over the water
Gathering the fishes
Watching sheep in the meadow
While the shepherds slumbered

I know that it really means nothing
I know that it never can happen

People reading the Bible
Like it's holy scripture
Taking words out of context
Now devoid of meaning
Using heaven for hatred almost universal
Ignorance is the Devil
Knowledge was the first sin

I know that it really means nothing
I know that it never can happen

Why won't anyone listen
When the Prophet's talking?
No more miracle-makers
Not since television
Damned to live in the present
This eternal moment
Blessed gift of existence
Clinging to a mystery

I know that it really means nothing
I know that it never can happen
I know
