Harvest

Well I sat down and read the book of revelation today
tried to give a listen to what old John had to say
but I just kept getting bored so I threw that book away
if the end is coming let it come another way

Now are you bold enough to challenge the power of God
when the volcanoes rumble and the wild beasts claw
and the skin on your bones tears away like soggy mud
if the end is coming keep the flower burn the bud

A Harvest is coming
Are you out in the field?
A Harvest is coming
What will your labors yield?

Well all our myths have expired and they no longer tell
the mystery's revealed there's no ring in the bell
so close up your books of history and set them on the fire
they can't keep you from the darkness but they'll burn for a little while

There's a secret in a cave painted on a wall
a magnificent buffalo fourteen feet tall
and if you press your ear to his lips and listen he will speak
but if your heart is not pure destruction he will wreak

A Harvest is coming
Are you out in the field
A Harvest is coming
Will your mortal would be healed?

I'm a lion, I'm a bear, I'm a leopard, I'm a lamb
I'm a lion, I'm a bear, I'm a shepard, I'm a lamb
I'm a leper, I'm a bear, I'm shepard, I'm a man
(or I'm a leper, I'm a square, I'm a liar, I'm a ham)
Playing Tug-O-War with buffalo the rope slipping through my hands

Ohhhh, Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh
