lyrics

I heard thy voice in the garden and I was afraid. So I hid myself. I’m afraid god. I’m afraid. I’m afraid…

god sleeps, up there
god-sized bed and an easy chair
He speaks in lightning I swear
Don’t play (shhh) too loud
If god wakes up he’ll wear us out
He speaks the whole sky shakes
Thunder rolls every step he takes

Fear of god, the fear of god in me

god works from morning to evening
god sleeps from seven to four
Wakes when the garden is sleeping
Puts on a clean uniform
Binge drinks coffee and cola
Works hard meets every quota
Exhausted Saturday night
Bills paid let there be light

Fear of god, the fear of god in me

I CAN FEEL IT! IT'S A PARASITE FOR MY SOUL! RESISTANCE! DESCENSION!

god! Whom shall I fear?

I CAN FEEL IT! I CAN FEEL IT! RESISTANCE! IT'S A PARASITE! I CAN FEEL IT! IT'S LIKE FIRE SHUT UP IN MY BONES! RESISTANCE! RESISTANCE!

Look but don’t touch. Touch but don’t taste. Taste but don’t swallow. (THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, 1997)
