	The Crucifixion
	Phil Ochs
	And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
	The stars settle slowly, in lonliness they lie
	'Till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised
	Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed
	But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze
	With the speed of insanity, then he dies.
	In the green fields a turnin', a baby is born
	His cries crease the wind and mingle with the morn
	An assault upon the order, the changing of the guard
	Chosen for a challenge that is hopelessly hard
	And the only single sound is the sighing of the stars
	But to the silence and distance they are sworn
	So dance dance dance
	Teach us to be true
	Come dance dance dance
	'Cause we love you
	Images of innocence charge him go on
	But the decadence of destiny is looking for a pawn
	To a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate
	And a blinding revelation is laid upon his plate
	That beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate
	And God help the critic of the dawn.
	So he stands on the sea and shouts to the shore,
	But the louder that he screams the longer he's ignored
	For the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs
	And the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged
	'Till the giant is aware, someone's pulling at his leg,
	And someone is tapping at the door.
	To dance dance dance
	Teach us to be true
	Come dance dance dance
	'Cause we love you
	Then his message gathers meaning and it spreads accross the land
	The rewarding of his pain is the following of the man
	But ignorance is everywhere and people have their way
	Success is an enemy to the losers of the day
	In the shadows of the churches, who knows what they pray
	For blood is the language of the band.
	The Spanish bulls are beaten; the crowd is soon beguiled,
	The matador is beautiful, a symphony of style
	Excitement is estatic, passion places bets
	Gracefully he bows to ovations that he gets
	But the hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat
	And saliva is falling from their smiles
	So dance dance dance
	Teach us to be true
	Come dance dance dance
	'Cause we love you
	Then this overflow of life is crushed into a liar
	The gentle soul is ripped apart and tossed into the fire.
	First a smile of rejection at the nearness of the night
	Truth becomes a tragedy limping from the light
	All the (canons\|heavens) are horrified, they stagger from the sight
	As the cross is trembling with desire.
	They say they can't believe it, it's a sacreligious shame
	Now, who would want to hurt such a hero of the game?
	But you know I predicted it; I knew he had to fall
	How did it happen? I hope his suffering was small.
	Tell me every detail, I've got to know it all,
	And do you have a picture of the pain?
	So dance dance dance
	Teach us to be true
	Come dance dance dance
	'Cause we love you
	Time takes her toll and the memory fades
	but his glory is broken, in the magic that he made.
	Reality is ruined; it's the freeing from the fear
	The drama is distorted, to what they want to hear
	Swimming in their sorrow, in the twisting of a tear
	As they wait for a new thrill parade.
	The eyes of the rebel have been branded by the blind
	To the safety of sterility, the threat has been refined
	The child was created to the slaughterhouse he's led
	So good to be alive when the eulogy is read
	The climax of emotion, the worship of the dead
	And the cycle of sacrifice unwinds.
	So dance dance dance
	Teach us to be true
	Come dance dance dance
	'Cause we love you
	And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
	The stars settle slowly, in lonliness they lie
	'Till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised
	Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed
	But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze
	With the speed of insanity, then he died.
