And kings will come and years will pass Stars burn cold beneath the glass And days will blow in distant time In this storied haze the zephyrs graze An infant with the voice of a crone In Nebuchadnezzars parking zone Calls out my lord your end is nigh I didn’t mean to make you cry In deserts where the dust storm blows And lush black swamps where mandrake grows We’re marching laughing to the drum Waiting for those kings to come The circus sun in Nero eyes The lions and the Christians rise Software sings and hardware hears You’re destined babe to live these years ---

From the rockin’ of the cradle to the rollin’ of the hearse The goin’ up was worth the comin’ down He’s a poet, he’s a picker, he’s a prophet, he’s a picker He’s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he’s stoned He’s a walkin’ contradiction, partly truth, partly fiction Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home There’s a lot of wrong directions on your lonesome way back home ---

O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns, thine only crown: how pale thou art with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish which once was bright as morn! What thou, my Lord, has suffered was all for sinners’ gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve thy place; look on me with thy favor, vouchsafe to me thy grace. What language shall I borrow to thank thee, dearest friend, for this thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end? O make me thine forever; and should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love for thee. ---
