Robert LaSalle

René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle (; November 22, 1643 – March 19, 1687), was a 17th-century French explorer and fur trader in North America. He explored the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, and the Mississippi River. He is best known for an early 1682 expedition in which he canoed the lower Mississippi River from the mouth of the Illinois River to the Gulf of Mexico; there, on 9 April 1682, he claimed the Mississippi River basin for France after giving it the name La Louisiane. One source states that "he acquired for France the most fertile half of the North American continent". A later ill-fated expedition to the Gulf coast of Mexico (today the U.S. state of Texas) gave the United States a claim to Texas in the purchase of the Louis… more »

Fill up all the vacant holes 
With the father, son and holy ghost 
You'll never see them hiding behind the pope 
You gotta believe him, he's the only one who knows 
Oh, he knows 

Preacher, he can't turn a cheek 
The reaper, he's laughing through your teeth 
Eye for an eye, well he don't practice what he preach 
Blind lead the blind, where the one eyed man is king 
He's counting sheep 

Don't waste your parables 
On heaven or on hell 
Don't wait for miracles 
To save you from yourself 

Age old parables 
Hide behind your fear 
Beautiful fairytales 
Falling on deaf ears 

People... living for one another 
Why can't you see us? Why can't it be enough? 
Think your father's deciphering prayer through the guff? 
You can't hold water with all your weight on that crutch 
How's it holding up? 

Don't waste your parables 
On heaven or on hell 
Don't wait for miracles 
To save you from yourself 

Age old parables 
Hide behind your fear 
Beautiful fairytales 
Falling on deaf ears 

Darkness... lies among the lies among you 
Neither was it virtue nor vice that hung him 
Take a good sentiment, flunk it up and rub it in 
Don't waste away, for no one lives and no one dies for sin 

There is no sin

Only marionettes 
Dancing in the night 
Chasing their shadows 
Somehow they find the light 

Virgin marionettes...
