lyrics

ANCIENT CHAINS
Don’t show me your false king, your tabernacle, your religion / Don’t show me your wedding ring or your much-applauded vision / Don’t show me your veil of tears or the horses that you stole – Reveal to me your Mystery; I wanna see your Soul!/ Oh! Let us break these Ancient Chains! / Don’t show me your master’s house; don’t show me your silver tongue / Don’t show me your silken blouse or the medals that you’ve won / Don’t show me your dwelling place; if it’s a palace or some black hole / Reveal to me your Mystery; I wanna see your Soul!/ Don’t show me your unfurled flag, materialistic pride / Don’t show me your burning rags or the blinders on your eyes / Don’t show me your password, decoder ring, manifesto - Reveal to me your Mystery; I wanna see your Soul!/ Don’t show me your chosen one, your existential angst / Don’t show me your father’s gun, his armies & his banks / Don’t show me your cryptic plans, apocrypha & scrolls – All I wanna see’s your Mystery; I wanna climb inside your Soul! / Don’t show me your Don Juan, Mata Hare, Hollywood / Don’t show me the empty hall where once your heroes stood / Don’t show me some false paradise or the Way of a Thousand Holes / Reveal to me your Mystery; I wanna see your Soul!/ Don’t show me your secret map or your photogenic past / Don’t show me your lashed back with its bureaucratic dance / Don’t show me your credit card, relics, bones & hidden gold / Open to me your Mystery; Open up to me your Soul!...
