I am a rock on which you can stand.
The sheep, my flock, obey my every command.
They fear the dark, but my words comfort and still.
I'll get us through the gates, now you be sure to pass the till.
I don't know if I'm lying or if I do believe.
It's hard to describe exactly what I'm trying to achieve.
Full speed ahead, the engine's running strong. The needle's in the red, right where it belongs. We've got no belts and no brakes, but we're gonna do whatever it takes and we cannot slow down so it's full speed ahead.
And for those that want to live forever, wll here is the treasure that you seek; strengthening the herd by killing of the sick and the weak. And for those that want to make it better well, you can take this to heart: we've got it so pieced together that it cannot be taken apart.
Now we're sailing off to find a distant shore but I can't remember what we're searching for...
