Eulogy Lyrics

{

And the angel of the Lord came unto me, snatching me up from my

place of slumber, and took me on high, and higher still until we

moved in the spaces betwixt the air itself. and he bore me unto a

vast farmland of our own midwest, and as we descended cries of

impending doom rose from the soil. one thousand, nay, a million

voices full of fear. and terror possessed me then. and I begged,

"Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the

angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries

of the carrots. You see, reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day

and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber

drenched in sweat like the tears of one millions terrified brothers

and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light, they have a

consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul. damn you! let

the rabbits wear glasses, save our brothers...can I get an amen?

can I get a hallelujah? thank you, Jesus.

life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on...

this is necessary

{

it was daylight when you woke up in your ditch. you looked up at

your sky. that made blue be your color. you had your knife with

you there too. when you stood up there was goo all over your

clothes. your hands were sticky. you wiped them on your grass, so

now your color was green. oh Lord, why did everything always have

to keep changing like this? you were already getting nervous

again. your head hurt and it rang when you stood up. your head

was almost empty. it always hurt you when you woke up like this.

you crawled up out of your ditch unto your gravel road and you

began to walk and waited for the rest of your mind to come back to

you. you could see the car parked far down the road and you walked

toward it. if God is our father, you though, then Satan must be

our cousin. why didn't anyone else understand these important

things? when you got to your car, you tried all the doors, but

they were locked. it was a red car and it was new. there was an

expensive leather camera case lying on the seat. out across your

field you could see two tiny people walking by your woods. you

began to walk towards them. now red was your color and of course,

those little people out there were yours too.
