The future's a mirage
This life is carnivale
When the animals run
Hide in camouflage

What lies in tarot cards?
Chased by cloaked men
We live in Babylon
We've lost our temperance

Our photos sepia
Our food tastes umami
We drown in Firegold
Yo our children Bezoomy

To the dumb: "Ephphatha"
Know your Rabonai
king of kings
Emperor Selassie

Praise the Messiah
Faith is Dorogay
Strong as Destrier
But the name is Malakai

These times are sinister
Its time for a Collocol
fake minister
Runs to bed with Jezebel

rogue Scallywag
That pulls shenanigan
We need the Vellocet
Some just need Nepathean

But man is transient
Even Illuminati
Shine the Pyramid
Sun under the Gemini

And ask the Haruspex
Truth in telepathy
Some say its balderdash
Some call it malarkey

But find the Pollyklef
Behind the Cataract
Dance in Petrichor
Run and use the Battle axe

To fight the Jackalope
And battle Dolorous
Win the Donnybrook
Come escape the wilderness

Beware of Sabotage
world of Jabbernowl
Burn down Gomorrah
And all is all

Sometimes, it feels like I'm goin' under,
And the rain and the thunder, in the jungle wonder,
Struggle, the battle, of all good and bad,
As rattlesnakes shake the grass, the storm sand,
Hear the sound of a different drum, its beats warm,
Under a militant sun, the seven seas torn,
wounded warrior of a hope dies last,
For I am my future, my god and my past
