New Age Messiah
(Tobias Sammet)
Countless pointing fingers
A nameless crowd
Too swollen to analyze
Takes a rise out of the stranger
Don't know where he's come from
Bumfuck raises birds of paradise
They surmise - very wise
One night they witnessed
How he lit his backdoor winds
Fire turned the night into day
And they prayed, fell on their knees
And turned their glances off his face,
They know they've been
Chosen to obey
Pardon me
Raise a graven image
I'm the new messiah for the world
You can't see
The splendor of my nimbus
But I'm the new messiah for the world
For the blind
The word shall spread like wildfire
You got a new messiah holding sway
Delightful game
Don't you give away: I'm no redeemer
But bring me grapes
And diamonds right away
And a maid to lay...
One day oblivion will swallow up my fame
The common run of mankind
Will forget my name
Forget my name
Like a phoenix rising
Someone else is gonna reign
'Til then you know that you are to obey me
Gluttony and ecstasy,
There's velvet on my dais
Lions, ladies, rotaries
They never spare with praise
A million pointing fingers
Have turned to clapping hands
Now I'm off to Betty Ford,
See you in hell my friends
Pardon fucking me,
Who the fucking fuck is Jesus
Motherfucking new messiah
for the fucking world
