Gods and Ghosts

GODS AND GHOSTS

From the prince to the pauper

From the jester to the queen

From the peasant to the privileged

Its the way it’s always been

Its all the self appointed Gods

Who take what once was free

And sell us back our freedoms

Like it was theirs to give or keep_

The ghosts write speeches for the statesmen

Who are bought and sold by Gods

Who promise wealth and substance

But the substance is the fraud

Wealth is just a state of mind

For gold is just a stone

The wealth is in the masses

Oh, if the masses only spoke__ Gods and Ghosts, Gods and Ghosts

 

The money floats in rivers

To the self-appointed Gods

Who were painted in by righteous clowns

By a godless server's chore 

Lies live inside imbeciles

The Gods refuse to see

Oblivious aristocrats  ….

As judgment falls on thee__

 

The ghost writes for the faces

Whom the Gods have choose

Who chose to play the orator

For the masses far removed

Spirits who have cried out

To the heavens; never heard

There lay the faces sprawled out

On a rotundas bloodied earth__ Gods and Ghosts, Gods and Ghosts 

 

Neath the blue eyed blinded Englishman

Sits the fair haired Texas Queen

I sit below the riverbank

Asking where has my god been

Does he hear the rain: it’s crying?

Does he lift his eyes to speak?

Does he see the time he's chosen?

For the world has cried for thee_ Gods and ghosts, Gods and ghosts

 

So lift up your ghosts to higher thrones

For these Gods, they have no wings

The Ghost he bleeds his songs for you

As he hears the masses scream

Stand and speak, stand and sing

For the Ghost is within you!

Why must you follow shepherds?

If the shepherds have “lost you?”
