Monks of Doom

The Monks of Doom is an American alternative rock band, formed in California in 1986. Working within the indie rock aesthetic framework (despite their later involvement with a major label), the band's music drew from post-punk, progressive rock and folk rock traditions. The group is a noteworthy side project of the band Camper Van Beethoven, with whom all Monks of Doom members have been involved. more »

I was swimming in the cool waters of an oasis
I was swimming in a mirage
I was wondering just where this road would take us
It's the same one that we have been on

From the city of bosra to Jerusalem
From the west into the east
Only one more sacrifice
Then we'll finally get us all some peace

The man behind the man behind the curtain is working
Pulling levers by his crystal ball
He's plowing the fields for chrysanthemums
Waiting for the sun to fall

He threw a bone to the starving faithful
They got down on their knees
The man behind the man behind the curtain is talking
But he never betrays what he thinks

Silver reflection
Cherry blossom baptism

Now that the rose
Is gone from the garden
What will we do
With the thorn?

Silver reflection
Cherry blossom baptism

If i went down
To the river of Jordan
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
If i could just touch the hem of his garment
Well then i know he'd take me home

To see the water in the river boil
To see the city consumed by fire
To see the man's cast shadow scorched into the earth
And flies buzzing in the air like a funeral choir

Is gone from the garden
What will we do
With the thorn grown on the grove?
