Clockwork messiah
clockwork messiah: verse: sleeping on the banks of a stream i lay i woke saw a child walk across the water and pray the frantic birds made two crosses from the remains of two burning trees chorus: the child emerged from the water a man he adorned a cross and made a sign i walked across the water-lost-almost divine i laid on a cross our shadows became one verse: third and fourth incarnations rival messiahs he healed the sick was called a fake i built a clockwork moon to control the tides i made people believe reality was a dream chorus bridge: i fooled the third messiah with him i built a clockwork earth waiting to be wound by a clockwork God who was wound by the clockwork people. this is a song lyric
