HOCUS POCUS

It's Fat Tuesday down in New Orleans
The Mardigras's a crazy scene
A skeleton's was talkin' on a cellular phone
And some black cat's blowin' on an old trombone
I believe I'll write a song about it someday
For now I'll just sit back and watch the parade

It's hocus pocus hocus pocus
Hocus pocus - It's bogus
 
Now this block party's realIy blowin steam
I seen Elvis drivin in a pink limousine
I even saw the Queen of Spades
Baptizing puppets in some wierd charade

It's hocus pocus hocus pocus
Hocus pocus - It's bogus

They call it the city that never sleeps
The Dixielands rippin down on Bourbon Street
I believe I'll write a song about it someday
For now I'll just sit back and watch the parade
It's Hocus pocus hocus pocus
Hocus pocus It's bogus

It's Ash Wednesday down in New Orleans
There's not a soul out there in the streets
Passsed the church inside people pray
The freaks last night were saints today
It seemed so strange
Yeah -
 

It's Hocus pocus hocus pocus
Hocus pocus - It's bogus

It's Fat Tuesday down in New Orleans
The Mardigras's a crazy scene
They're selling statues of Jesus
For how much you can pay
But you can't get salvation
From papermachet

Hocus pocus hocus pocus
It's surreal - surreal
Hocus pocus Hocus pocus
 
 
 
 

MANKIND

The evening news
Boggles our minds
We hide our eyes
Inside we cry
Mankind

And our history books
Read more like horror stories
Full of hatred and pain
The death of innocence
Upon every page
Mankind

Time passes on -
And there was a great industrial revolution
That changed the face of the world
And made sweat shop slaves
Out of every boy and girl

It makes you want to scream out
Stop the madness stop the madness
Stop the madness stop the madness
Time passes technology marches on
They say it's a new age people
Quicker faster to and fro we run
But we can't cure our evils
Mankind
And how do you tell the children
Why there are guns in school
But to say a prayer to Jesus
Is against the rules
Mankind

Stop the madness stop the madness
Stop the madness
So if money buys justice
And corruption buys the truth
Where is our freedom
If even when we win - we lose

People we've got to rise up

Let's get it together
Let's change our way's
There's hope for the future
If we start today
So raise up our voices
It's time that we start
To praise his name
He is our God

We can lead the way America

We can't wait too long
Or we will regret it
We are Mannaseh
He who is forgetting
Let's raise our hands
Seek our salvation
He is our God
Let's call out His name
Yahweh
Yashua
Jesus
Our Savior
Mankind
 
 
 
 

I Daniel

Then I Daniel
Raised up my eyes

Two holy ones were speaking
Or whether in a dream
I knew not it's meaning
He said Daniel seal up the vision

Then I Daniel
Stood upon the bank of the River Ulai
Where I saw two ram horns rise up
Exceedingly high
And brush against the sky

Two holy ones were speaking
Of some distant time
I heard but didn't understand
He said Daniel seal up the vision

 It's not for you to know
It's for the end of time
I saw but could not perceive
What I beheld with my own eyes

I watched as the towers came crashing down
And a mighty mighty one he waxed strong
And then Gabriel made me see
The end of time

Then I Daniel
Gazed into the muddy water of Ulai
Where I watched as he was magnified
To the throne of the Most High

By his craft he prospered
Through intrigues and trickery
He waxed strong
And then by no human hand
His power was broken
And God's Truth consumed his evil heart
With eternal fire
I saw but did not perceive
What I beheld with my own eyes
 
Two holy ones were speaking
Of some distant time
I said Lord help me to understand
He said Daniel seal up the vision
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
