I want to live,  
I want to give  
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold.  
It’s these expressions  
I never give  
That keep me searching for a heart of gold.

Up from the grave he arose;  
with a mighty triumph o’er his foes;  
he arose a victor from the dark domain,  
and he lives forever, with his saints to reign.  
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Rising from my deadly tomb I’ve got maddened eyes with fright  
Fingers bleeding fast heart beating the moons my only light  
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust  
If God won’t have me, then the Devil must  
We will raise the dead  
We will raise the dead

More sound than she  
And black moons in those eyes of hers  
Made more sense to me

The itsy-bitsy spider  
Climbed up the water spout  
Down came the rain  
And washed the spider out

The horror that he brings, the horror of his sting  
The unholiest of kings, the Black Widow  
Our minds will be his toy, and every girl and boy  
Will learn to be employed by the Black Widow  
Love me, yes we love me (love him, yes we love him)  
Love me (yes we love him) ahahahaha!!!

At the scene of a crime

And I’m the only one  
I will be the one to knock it down

To get some respect we had to tear this muthafucka up

We are free now, we can kill now  
We can hate now, now we can end the world  
We’re not guilty, he was crazy

Take your place on the great Mandala  
As it moves through your brief moment of time

Twenty-one years in captivity  
Shoes too small to fit his feet  
His body abused but his mind is still free  
Are you so blind that you cannot see?  
I said free Nelson Mandela  
I’m begging you, free Nelson Mandela

Soon the brightness fades and even dreams are too far  
Then your life becomes a prison  
All the bars are solid made by your own hands  
Then you’re just a voice with silent demands

Free the spirit in your longing

No wise man has the power to reason away  
What seems to be  
Is always better than nothing  
There’s nothing at all
