Moon and Fire Lyrics by The Illalogical Spoon

experiment #3: remember your creator in the days of your youth

2008

There was the moon and there was fire I stood before it I felt desire
I didn't speak it it didn't seem it was the time to talk about it
There was moon and there was fire I looked into it. I saw it was two things
It was You Lord, and it was Your absence. It was two things, and I thought about that
[Chorus]
It is good that you grasp one thing And also not let go of the other
For the one who fears God comes forth with both
Who knows what is good for a man during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow and he will die
There was the moon and there was fire I sat beside it I felt it's hotness upon my face
And it was wonderful to feel hotness, and feel all things that I can feel, and see light and all light reveals
All my senses and their capacity to receive beauty I got it for free
I didn't work hard to enjoy this I merely sit here and it is part of me
You have made me Lord I didn't buy me You gave me life and everything worth anything is free, so free
[Chorus]
It is good that you grasp one thing And also not let go of the other
For the one who fears God comes forth with both
Who knows what is good for a man during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow and he will die
There was the moon and there was fire I laid me down there for I was tired
Through the night I checked upon it I did not want to roll up on it
In the morning it was ash, it didn't last
That's a story I can understand Its' happened several times since I've tried to be a man
I get this fire, but in the morning it is ash, It doesn't last
But I have heard there is a fire that keeps on burning the bright and morning star
[Chorus]
It is good that you grasp one thing And also not let go of the other
For the one who fears God comes forth with both
Who knows what is good for a man during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow and he will die
How long shall we fake life O we civilized
While they are building their tower of babble, We'll be tearing it down with our wild brothers and sisters!
For everything there is a moment Come with me friends Come along with me friends Come along with me my friends. Let's not waste it
(we entreat You, we entreat You, make us truly alive!)
Daily this living earth's sorely assaulted by a culture that cares more for money than life
Do you think God put you here to grow fat on water and air soaking up so-called good times as time floats on by?
Water and sky, forest and field all will die if this culture won't yield (and we all know it won't)
These are the days we've been gifted with breath will we stand by and watch all we love choked to death?
Who must we answer to, where are the last of these? Listen, creation groans fighting for liberty!
War is upon us so take a deep breath, and fight, fight, fight along side of your friends!
We have been given but a moment now live it speak no barren words, make no empty vows
Now is the time to toil as if there were no God, but know if there is no God nothing has been done!!!
In this earth literal, physical land, we will make our stand against kings and machines!
Those blasphemers mock you Lord, make our hearts true and whatever our hands find to do may they do with all of their might!
Sing courage to my soul land of the living!
Sing courage to my soul land of the living!
Sing courage to my soul land of the living!
Sing courage to my soul land of the living!
Sing courage to my soul land of the living!
Sing courage to my soul land of the living!
Sing courage to my soul land of the living!
Sing courage to my soul land of the living!
