From the recording Dark Matter

Lyrics

Come down Moses where the water is wide
Spare a thought in your heart for the orphan child
Found by the Pharaoh’s daughter in the reeds
Destined to set your people free

Storm clouds gather deep in the West
There just might be a little ray of light left yet
But everybody hides behind ideology
When the wheels that turn are always power and greed

Come down Moses
Rest your weary head
Come down Moses
This world remains unled

You’re never going to get to the promised land
Back in Egypt, you know you killed a man
Then you wandered in the desert for forty years
Trying to keep it all together through spiritual fear

Lonely Moses
Rest your weary head
Come down Moses
They worship gold instead

All your people are fighting on
Over which god is the one true love
On the field of battle they invoke his name
As they break the laws that they kill to save

Come down Moses
Rest your weary head
Come down Moses
They never heard a word you said

Come down Moses
Rest your weary head
Come down Moses
The god of love has fled
