Letra da Música What If Darkness Was Brighter Than Light? de Rough Silk

Jesus and Buddha and Manitou´s ex-squaws
sat on the blue-green magnolia-tree shore
while Mohammed was doing his daily jogging
and the holy ghost was looking for a door.
The nightshift-squad was on their way home
to their families and the demons from down below
shared a mighty big spliff and the sharks of the
riff were waiting for the beginning of the show.
"Do you have any clue what they´re fighting
for in our names ?" asked Jesus
and took a deep toke
"Not at all, bro", said Mohammed
and stopped running for a minute,
"I think this holy-war-thing´s nothing but a joke.
Well, maybe I said some things as I was angry and
young but I never thought they´d take it for real!
But every excuse is a good one, you know when
you´re living to rape kill and steal !"

What if the gods beyond hate ( trans-destination )
were simply victims of fate ( sense of creation )
where would we run to and where could we hide ?
What if our prayers would come true
(trans-destination ) and all our fantasies, too
(pain´s fascination )
and what if darkness was brighter than light ?

A raven dressed in black called the leader
of the pack brought them a drink and screamed :"redemption for free !"
Buddha smiled from one ear to the other and said:
"Excuse me, Sir, but I don´t agree.
Salvation you can´t get for nothing at all-
you always have to give something in return !"
"Whatever !", said the raven, "I´m only a salesman
and I work hard for the money I earn."
The last wales of destiny gave it one more try -
spread their wings and flew up to the pink clouds
somewhere high in the sky
while the birds were swimming in the sea and the
reaper was yelling :
"They ain´t ready yet to die !!!"
"Stay cool, man , relax - they won´t run away !",
said Jesus and took his guitar
and he played dirty songs `till his fingers bled
and a spaceship came travelling from far.
The flying saucer landed on the beach
and a voice told them all : "Do not fear !
My name´s 42 , Allah, Jehova or God or simply
Nature - do you have a beer ?
You all know parts of me - but you don´t know me
whole and now I´m retired from this masquarade ball
I left the world I created -
Do you want the job, Reaper ?
All you have to do is to call !"

What if the gods beyond hate……
