Dead Sea Lyrics

I saw God in the desert

In some burning bushes

I heard God on the mountain

In a cave of whispers

Moving over the water

Gathering the fishes

Watching sheep in the meadow

While the shepherds slumbered



I know that it really means nothing

I know that it never can happen



People reading the Bible

Like it's holy scripture

Taking words out of context

Now devoid of meaning

Using heaven for hatred - almost universal

Ignorance is the Devil

Knowledge was the first sin



I know that it really means nothing

I know that it never can happen



Why won't anyone listen

When the Prophet's talking?

No more miracle-makers

Not since television

Damned to live in the present

This eternal moment

Blessed gift of existence

Clinging to a mystery



I know that it really means nothing

I know that it never can happen

I know
