The Face

They arrive on a sunny day Offering the residents a better way Before you know it you're in line And chanting refrain They reel you in and then they drown you out First they tell ya You're gonna lose your soul And then they tell ya Find another home And then you take a good look around And they stole your rock and roll And once it's gone you'll never get it back One thousand Les Pauls Burning in a field What rabid religion Poisons their minds? One thousand Jazzmasters Thrown into the sea What measure of madness Governs their time? Alright In the beginning There was void The hand woke up Then there was noise Fire and water Heaven and stone Radio kings Hammer and throne One thousand Les Pauls Smoulder in a field What measure of madness Fastens their hearts? One thousand Jazzmasters Sunk down to the bottom of the sea What rabid religion Drives them apart? In the beginning There was void The face woke up Then there was noise Fire and water Heaven and stone Radio kings Hammer and throne Uncounted Les Pauls Are sainted to the sky Where there was darkness Now only light Uncounted Jazzmasters Rising up from the bottom of the sea The wicked are nought The righteous are free Uncounted Les Pauls Explode and take flight Where there was darkness Now only light Uncounted Jazzmasters Are rocking from the bottom of the sea The wicked are nought The righteous are free
