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.
