"Fear & Trembling" LYRICS

A Voice Screaming from a Wilderness

A voice screaming from a wilderness isn't nice at all
A voice screaming from a wilderness sounds like trouble to me

I thought I felt a ghost in the weeds

A voice screaming from a wilderness isn't what you might think
A voice screaming from a wilderness is for those with ears to hear

You might say "psycho locust-eating weirdo uh-oh-oh come hang out with me
You mights say "psycho kid-killing madman - stay the hell away from me!"

A voice screaming from a wilderness might just know your name!
A voice screaming from a wilderness could make you crazy!

A curse worth baring - get up and live!
A curse worth burying - get up a fruity tree!
A curse worth baring - could set you free!

Abrahero & The Birth of a Superman

1...2...3

The world was evil - chaos was everywhere
The legend goes that God came to a man there
His name was Abraham and his wife was barren
God made a deal - gave them the Superman!
For a son to carry on the name and
save the world from darkness and despair
The people wont have to lift a finger
just worship me your Lord and do what I say

And Abraham said "This God is good - this God is good!"

Then the God said "KILL HIM!"
"Offer him to me!
"SACRIFICE!"
"I'll tell you where to go just go." (2x)

(Abe says) I can't do that - it's stupid
It doesn't make any sense - What'd I do wrong
I have to though - this God is real
I gotta do it - this is stupid

They saddled up for the trip and headed out - and headed out
"God wants a sacrifice" is all he said
a snails-pace for days - "my son is dead!" (Abe says)
Ride on with hazard lights "I'm in the red!" (Abe says)
They got to the mountain - God said "here."
They moved up the path - Abraham was in fear

Then from behind the rocks came the serpent of evil
10x the size of man - Abraham conevil
jumped out and drew his sword - Matrix freeze
Backbend-dodge tail-whip but snake bite achilles
The boy drew super strength and burt through the air
Crushing the serpents head with one punch - with one punch - with one punch

Abraham called out to his boy - the weight was too much to bare
"Oh my boy do not fear." He held his face and shed a tear
"This is what we're really going to do." Then he spoke in tongues and couldn't get through
(the boys says) "Oh no! Oh please no!" The boy fell to his feet and begged for his life
"Remember the empty house, the loneliness, and the strife!
The fate of the world and the promise of God!!!"

Abraham!
Kicked the boy in the mouth and said "I HATE GOD!"
I BROUGHT YOU HERE TO THE SNAKE!
The boy called upon the Lord!
"God of Abraham please save me!!!

(Abe says) "Oh Lord I thank you - that you are the father if I can't be
the boy will now fulfill his destiny - he will move on
carry on the name - yeah -
carry on your name
save the world
save the world from evil
save the world from evil
FOREVER (3x)

The Good Movie Theater Master

There was this good movie theater master
He had one really big movie theater
All the children came from everywhere
And all the children - they uh - stayed in there

The children became more an more unhappy
with their lives and it made em sick
The master turned the screen black with SIN
They left in terror and...it was...better.

Beyond Good & Evil

The hero stands we all understand
The hero understands we all stand
We are the heroes stand
We are under - we hear the hero.

God gave a man a plan
A single man a silent stand
No one else to clap a hand
No one else hear the plan
Oh - we aren't under
We know the no-no

Solitary confinement is for!
The worst of us it's a KILLER!
He is a murderer or there is...
Something new - Abraham.

The hero stands we all understand
The hero understands we all stand
We are the heroes stand
Yeah we're under - we hear the hero.

No Knife

God said to Abe, "Give up your world. "
"Sacrifice your son to me."
(Abe says) "Oh no! What did I do?! I gotta fix it! I gotta figure!"
Consult the manuel of life
Enter data - drop the knife
Fill in the blanks - stay in control
eternally - super-soul

Abe understood that he loved the world more than the God
Now it's time to pay the price
So he transfers all his love onto the God above
To a place no knife can touch
Now powered by what he can't have until death - dead - dying -
All right...

So he moves up the mountain sad
Hoping for a break he's not so bad
Sees the ram stuck in the bushes
Takes it instead and thanks the God
I'll be trying harder this time around
Thanks you for the 2nd chance - his words honest and profound
Now he lives alone far far away
Uses pain to validate how much he has given up for God!

(Abe says) "Nothing eternal in what I gave up - that's impossible.
Staying holy - separate from the way I was made.
Waiting to die - waiting to die."

Space Monk

Tower of Babble dabble - head scrabble (7x)
Tower of Babble dabble - Yabba Dabba Doo - GO!

Give up your all - lock the door - move to an outer space mountain!!
I'm pushing hard - I'm on a mission - I go far - I go far
He don't do this - he don't do that - He's got a far of gaze and he's getting fat
He's in pain - he's in control - he did that - he did that!

Space monk what do you do?
This worlds no place for you but you like it that way!
Space monk! Your going far!
(Space monk says) "This dust - what a bust! Get me far away from here - GO!"

The preacher says "Give up your all!"
Oh what a faith let's go to the mall
Stretch out you legs - let out a yawn - let;s go to sleep - I'll go to sleep
There's a faith that aint no sleepah!
Gives up it's all - that's not all - it expects it back!
It's on the move - a dusty move! Promise expected - It gets it back!!!

Oh man how do you do?
(Abraham) "On the strength of the absurd!"
On the strength of the what!?
Oh man - your going NOWHERE!!!
(Abraham says) "This dust aint no bust!" He loves it! (2x)

(Abraham says) "This dust aint no bust!"
He loves it! ( repeat)
"This dust aint no bust - aint no bust - everybody! And GO!"

ALL is the Cost

There's a place you can end up when you've pushed too hard
when you've dug too deep and reached too far
You freeze time and step out into Perfect Land.

You were in Excite Bike stuck on the same level forever
You started getting bored and going off track - doing crazy flips - landing on your head
Till you figured out that secret code flip - game glitch - freeze mid-air - Nirvana.

Big pat on the back from God and all the angels applaud
But there starts a crack on your cloud from a rock thrown by old man time below
Oh no! You fall back into that old wine skin.

An old lady mutters "There was nothing new under the sun."
In that hampster wheel of time - I calculated the perfect steps out
to meet that line that Abraham's faith did find

But my foot starts to tremble when it hits the dark
In The Land of The Question Mark - where confusion roams like a shark
where all minds are lost - backs are broken - ALL is the cost...

Looney Tune

Huh? What? Oh - Ok...

I was young! A little baby - I crawled around wide-eyed.
The world was BIG! I was small - anything was possible.

Uh. Ah Huh.

Wall of wonder! Cartoons!!!
Getting older - getting...
Spiky ceiling - Balloons!!!
Where's that wonder? Where that...

I hear the tale of Abraham - love it then but haunted now.
Gets worse with age - ALL SYSTEMS FAILED.
I gotta study him when he raises that knife high.

Uh. Huh Ah.

And there I stood at the top of that mountain
A fathers love shifting out of line
And reason waging hell on my insides
He bound him tight and raised the knife up high...

LOOK INTO HIS EYES!!!! HOLY MADNESS!!!!!!!
NOTHING TO NOTE!!!! NOTHING!!
THE SHUTTER OF THOUGHT!!! CRUSHING ME YEAH!!!!!!!!
WHAT'S YOUR NUBER KID!!!! WHAT'S YOUR.....
GIVE ME DEATH AND LOONEY TUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT'S YOUR SCHOOL KID....WHAT'S YOUR......

Using words to say there's no words!
I'm at a loss...

The only thing for sure in his faith is in
what it's not

I am Jonathan of Silence.

Greater Than All

Great is the man of faith - greater than all
Great is the man of faith - greater than all

Greater in what he loved
The hero loved the world
The monk loved himself
But faith loves God

Great is the man of faith - greater than all
Great is the man of faith - greater than all

Greater in what he labored for!
The hero labored for the world!
The monk labored for himself!
But faith labored for God!

Great is the man of faith - greater than all!
Great is the man of faith - greater than all!

Greater in what he expected!
The hero expects the possible
The monk expects the eternal
BUT FAITH EXPECTS THE IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

Great is the man of faith - greater than all!
Great is the man of faith - greater than all!

Oh oh oh oohh etc.

Learn to Surf

Learn to surf when your tossed around by the dark and wild waves
Find that floating wood - let it save your soul - though it's likely to break the body

Learn to surf when you've had enough and your arms cant take anymore
One last stroke and you start to choke as the darkness moves into the lungs

So stand up on the strength of the board and wobble like a new-born deer
Fall and get up - don't throw down this cup - you know there's nowhere else to go

So learn to surf - there's only one way - set aside what you think you know
Move and get the feel - growing thoughts in the real - you never know untill you try

Decades go by and your still alive though your in the scariest part of the ocean
Muscles getting strong! This is WHERE YOU BELONG! It's a pirates life for me...

So learn to surf though the ocean will change but you and your board will remain
Thanks to that piece of wood - tossed out by the world - that found the one in need

Philosophy of a Bat

There was this place!
We know the story!
A couple had!
They had it all!
They weren't the authors!
They were made
And the maker
Was in control
Of their well
Of their well-being
Perfect water
And it was good
And it was good
And it was good
PHILOSOPHY OF A BAT!

Philosophy of a bat - philosophy of a bat - philosophy of a...

The maker said!
"Don't do this."
One did this
"I know better."
Is what she said
With her soul
She took control
And so it stands
DUST TO DUST!!
DUST TO DUST!!!!!
DUST TO DUST!!!!!!!
PHILOSOPHY OF CAT!!!!

Philosophy of a cat - philosophy of a cat - philosophy of a...

There was this man!!!
This DUSTY man!!
A God showed up!!
And said "Do this."
And he did this!
"I'm gonna trust."
Is what he said
With his soul
He left control
Back to the well
His well being
Took the instruction!!
Only the weak
Lose control!!!!!
And he did that
And he did that
And he did that
Philosophy of a bat!!!

Dust to Dust

Dust to dust - I'm just a dusty dust
That's a dust house and a dusty eye
Dust to dust it's just going back
It's one thing - it's everything!

I said we've got icecream!!
Paul McCartney
A squeeky door
And a purple van

I said we've got sticky notes!!
Some velcrow
Some elbows
And love..love..love

Dust to dust just a dusty dust
This place flattens out really fast!!!
Dust to dust - she's just a dusty dust
the biggest man is getting really small!!

All right...
Dusty die
Dusty lust
Dusty baby
Dusty fry
Dusty God
Dusty movie
Dusty Michael Jackson
And a dusty trout

dust.

Land of The Paradox

It's pretty stupid when you have nothing to say
The ground is scrambled and the speed limit is 1

Be aware of The Land of The Paradox (2x)

It's super weird when one is higher than two
When God himself does his number on someone

Be aware of The Land of The Paradox

IT'S KINDA PSYCHO THAT THE BEST THINGS INVISIBLE!!!!!
REACHING OUT WITH CARTOON HANDS!!!!!!

Be aware of The Land of The Paradox

WHERE EVERY DAY IS OPPOSITE DAY!!!!
TO GET ONES ISAAC ONES GOT TO RAISE THE KNIFE!!!!!
AND THE GREATEST LOVE LOOKS LIKE HATE TO ME!!!!!
AND THE KEEPERS OF THE LAW ARE RIGHT TO HANG ONE ON A TREE!!!!

Be aware of The Land of The Paradox (2x)

Faith is the darkest key
Where one moves eternally in the dust

Guiding Star for the Desperate

Oh you teachers! Why can't you teach yourselves!!
Living life separates me from the mouth!

And you witnesses with worn-out shoes who don't dare lie to yourselves
A question mark is coming for you
Apathy is coming for you...

There's a shifting shadow operating inside!!!
Facing into it is a DEFINITE SUICIDE!!!!

Understand the world by 21 - master of the cheap and having fun
Faith was boring - no challenge at all
Going much further and getting tall
I was the whiz-kid that turned everything to gold!
Now STARVING TO DEATH in the glorious cold...

FATHER OF FAITH!!! GUIDING STAR FOR THE DESPERATE!!!!
AND THERE'S NO RACE RUN OR WON WHILE SITTING IN THE HEAD!!!
AND THERE'S NO CHEATING IN THE WORLD OF THE SPIRIT!!!!!!
AND THERE'S NO PICKING UP WHERE OTHERS LEFT OFF!!!

Fear & Trembling

Oh Abraham - what are you?
Lifting that sword in the stone - the heaviest knife ever know
The passion - twisting passion - The highest one there is
And the madness...OH THE MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!! HAS A KNIFE OF IT'S OWN...

Oooh oooh etc.

In fear and trembling that promise of the future has it's parts worked out today
Living life with your Isaac now like never before
Watch him grow into a man in loving arms - laugh laugh and cry
Did you see that movie? Did you have a bad day? You see that girl? Or surf today?
