4.Even The Oxen
Here is the one here is the one here is the one mistake that can
not be made
There is a line that is crossed over once and only once let it
be said
All of the hubris clenched in our fist won't punch our way out
of here
You know what i've told and i tell but you won't let it pass
into your ears
Even the oxen ramming their heads on wood rails
Come to know pain before the rusted barrier falls
Before the radio long before radio waves struck down to touch
Off the wild flame that took all in its path and trampled the
young underbrush
Music shooed clouds away billowing anxieties are rolled over and
out
Seems like a lot of folks gave up and got out except for the
truly devout
Who like the oxen ramming their heads on wood rails
Came to be dizzy before the barrier fell
Love is the one love is the one weapon that hasn't been
brandished yet in this song
Strikes fear in the pockets of bankers and generals without it
we can't carry on
And all of us knew this at one time from teething to toothless
it's safe to say
But useless perhaps to point out that we've lost our instincts
and awe in this day
And like the oxen ramming their heads on tin walls
Might come to know mercy before the barrier falls
And i come to know mercy before the barrier falls
And i come to know mercy before the barrier falls
Falls falls
And it falls falls falls
And it falls falls falls
