Cherry Blossom Baptism — текст песни (Monks of Doom)

I was swimming in the cool waters of an oasis

I was swimming in a mirage

I was wondering just where this road would take us

Its the same one that we have been on



From the city of bosra to jerusalem

From the west into the east

Only one more sacrifice

Then well finally get us all some peace



The man behind the man behind the curtain is working

Pulling levers by his crystal ball

Hes plowing the fields for crysanthemums

Waiting for the sun to fall



He threw a bone to the starving faithful

They got down on their knees

The man behind the man behind the curtain is talking

But he never betrays what he thinks



Silver reflection

Cherry blossom baptism

Silver reflection

Cherry blossom baptism



Now that the rose

Is gone from the garden

What will we do

With the thorn?



Silver reflection

Cherry blossom baptism



If I went down

To the river of jordan

Just to bathe my wearisome soul

If I could just touch the hem of his garment

Well then I know hed take me home



To see the water in the river boil

To see the city consumed by fire

To see the mans cast shadow scorched into the earth

And flies buzzing in the air like a funeral choir



Silver reflection

Cherry blossom baptism

Silver reflection

Cherry blossom baptism



Now that the rose

Is gone from the garden

What will we do

With the thorn grown on the grove?



Silver reflection

Cherry blossom baptism
