The Mantra

The night grows cold
A landscape scarred by silence
A look from you
Says more than words
A mushroom cloud engulfs
I look to you
Is this the way we're going?
Jacques Rogge only knows

And where does the future lie?
Amongst the sleeping
You ask me what I can do
Feed the hunger
What will the mantra be
When this is over
And who will be God
When rationality takes over

We walk this road alone
Or do we
Do unicorns exist
Well do they? (Probably)
A mushroom cloud engulfing
A love we left behind

(Hope you've been enjoying the album so far)
Is this the way we're going
(Little song fact for you: this was
Supposed to be the title track of the album)
Can we stop this? (We love you all)

And where does the future lie?
Amongst the sleeping
You ask me what I can do
Feed the hunger
And what will the mantra be
When this is over
And who will be God
When rationality takes over

The night grows cold (peace erupting everywhere)
A landscape scarred by silence
A look from you (I just wanna speak some truths)
Says more than words (we love the peace lovers)
A mushroom cloud engulfing
A love that lost (poetic lyrics once again)
Is this the way we're going (please baby Jesus no)
Let's learn to love

And where does the future lie?
(Always look ahead people
It's the way we're going)
You ask me what I can do
(Go out and vote that might help)
And what will the mantra be
When this is over
And who will be God
When rationality takes over

(This one goes out to all the people
Smoking a few joints)
When rationality takes over
(Having a few drinks
Just relaxing with your buddies)
When rationality takes over
(This one's also dedicated to Daniel Barenboim
He plays a beautiful piano and all the people
Under the Olympic flag that's held aloft
By Emperor Jaques Rogge night-night)

Bow down to His Royal Highness
Emperor Jacques Rogge
