Invisible Ones Guard The Gate

Invisible Ones Guard The Gate
 Something's happened, now you're far away
 You had to leave, no time to explain
 I called Brother said, "Mother's gone
 The Red Bird came and took her off"
 I asked, "Will she be in heaven above?
 All over my shoulder like a carrier dove?"

 He said, "One, two, three, four,
 There ain't no devil, there ain't no Lord.
 Five, six, seven, eight,
 Only love, only hate."

 I went to a preacher to seek the truth
 The wisest man that I knew
 The preacher had fallen, his colar torn
 He slept with a bottle, his face unshorn
 He looked at me with bloodshot eyes
 beaten man can tell no lies

 He said, "Prophets, pimps, angels, whores,
 There ain't no devil, there ain't no Lord.
 Money grows to fill the preacher's bank
 He saves your soul for himself to take."

 I travelled the world to understand
 The words he spoke were no man's
 I came to an island of beauty and pain
 Shimmering souls, untamed
 And now the children, talking bright
 Sing to me in the night

 They sing, "One, two, three, four,
 There ain't no devil, there ain't no Lord.
 Five, six, seven, eight,
 Invisible ones guard the gate.
 Invisible ones guard the gate."
