Ray Of Hope Hoe Of Rape Lyrics

    A glass ravine
    The low clouds which wink
    The boughs burnt diesel and burning pig
    Wide rutted streets
    "666 park avenue", yells a big red sign
    As if some anglo-saxon in love with his doom
    Left such a cheeky shrine

    Then all at once the daylight came
    The river lay ahead
    In it stood a wooden horse so tall
    The water reached but half its leg
    A sign nearby read "damn your law--this horse's hollow core
    Contains the means for your destruction!"
    This all passersby ignored

    "save us, save us...."

    When the great explorers, fortune hunters
    Slave men, conmen set their sails
    They dreamed of monsters without brains
    Great hulks to block their treasure trail
    Well, they got by with homicide
    But here's the end to the magic spell:
    Now the monsters lie in mouths, in veins
    In genitals, in empty bellies

    Baby, baby, won't you treat me kind?
    I'm only a white man who longs to die
    To end i need the power that you must give me
    Send the children outside! don't resist! don't cry!"

    The ray of hope as hoe of rape
    Reflecting light from tractor headlamps into the victim's face

    We bleat about our pain and how we lost and feel defiled
    And we cry all night for santa claus to make our blizzard mild
    The poor kind european white man never hurt a fly
    We were friends to all the races, every woman, every child
    "save us, save us...."

    So back in the dirty hotel i lay in my clothes and i slept. i dreamed that i was face-to-face with an amorous dragon who wanted to kill me and beckoned. i approached, unsheathed, and said, "
    S go! let's go! let's go!"

    Let me be at one with my destruction
    Won't you please acquaint me with your beautiful loss?
    Let's go!
