Prometheus Lyrics by Simon Joyner

Heaven’s Gate

0

Truth rotted in his bowels
When he threw in the towel
And you watched him hang and howl
At the slick hair vultures

Now you pray he reappears
‘Cause they say he was a seer
Fire burning in his hands
And something eating at his liver

Now you need him
Yeah, you need him
You need him
Now, more than ever
Don’t you?

They’re searching through the corn
For a dead naked child
You hope she comes out of hiding
For the black birds to fly south

And it may be spinning backwards
But the earth is still a sphere
Where they drag your children
Out of the corn but from the river

And you need them
Yeah, you need them
You need them
Now, more than ever
Don’t you?

Well they don’t want your soul to be
Caught hanging precariously
When they find your body
Thawing somewhere in the corn

So they nailed up a scarecrow
In the middle of an empty field
He’s frozen and he ain’t doing nothing
So you can go ahead and stone him
If you need to
Yeah, if you need to
If you need to

Don’t you need to?
Don’t you need to?
Don’t you need to?
Don’t you need to?

Now, more than ever
Now, more than ever
