The Prophet
The prophet spoke to us and this is what he said:
“Bring to me your firstborn sons, because i want them dead”
He is not to be questioned, so we heeded his command
We are God’s people and the prophet his right hand

The prophet spoke to us and this is what he said:
“Bring to me your daughters if they’re old enough to wed
God has commanded me to take them as my wives
I’ll be their master for the rest of their lives

The prophet spoke to us and this is what he said:
“Go out into the world and my gospel spread
And where my teachings fail, my sword will succeed
And by the might of God the heathens’ souls will be freed”

The prophet spoke to us but this time I did not hear
After losing my children i had nothing to fear
Whatever God commands is nothing to me
I go to find a place that’s free from misery

I’ve crossed the desert to find the promised land
Here i found a prophet that I could understand
When he spoke, it was softly and with a wry grin:
“All prophets are false, except, perhaps, the one you find within”
