Lyrics:
It was a beautiful day in Columbus when the fences fell
But the five loaves and the fishes ain't going to be much help,
I got a hungry juggler here who wants to be at the head,
Before he walks the water he wants his bread.
Sat in the corner of the Garden Grill, with plastic flowers on the window sil
No more miracles, loaves and fishes, been so busy with the washing of the dishes
Reaction level's much too high - I can do without the stimuli
I'm living way beyond my ways and means, living in the zone of the inbetweens
I can see the flashes on the frozen ocean, static charge of the cold emotion
Watched on by the distant eyes - watched on by the silent hidden spies
But still the warmth flows through me
And I sense you know me well
No luck, no golden chances
No mitigating circumstances now
It's only common sense
There are no accidents around here
I am willing - lay your hands on me
I am ready - lay your hands on me
I believe - lay your hands on me, over me
Working in gardens, thornless roses, fat men play with their garden hoses
Poolside laughter has a cynical bite, sausage speared by the cocktail satellite
I walk away from from light and sound, down stairways leading underground
But still the warmth flows through me
And I sense you know me well
It's only common sense
There are no accidents around here
I am willing - lay your hands on me
I am ready - lay your hands on me
I believe - lay your hands on me, over me over me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, over me
Wine to water
Was the best that I could do.
Wild office parties split the silence.
Loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two.
Don't wake me: I'm falling.
Slow spiral into morning.
Families screaming line the streets
And put the windows through
In corner shops
Where keepers kept
The country's life-blood blue.
Take their pick
And try the trick
With loaves and fishes shared
And the vicar shouts
As the lights go out,
And no-one really cares.
Dark Ages
Shaking the dead
Closed pages
Better not read
Cold rages
Burn in your head.
I used to have a secret cellar
Where I kept the sweetest of my wine
Now it seems that I've been too long
Hanging on the vine
And now she's turning it into water
Never be the same again
She's turning it into water
All my wine tastes like the rain
Damp has peeled away my labels,
I can't read the writing any more,
Nothing here to grace my tables
Nothing left to store
And now she's turning it into water
Never be the same again
She's turning it into water
All my wine tastes like the rain
Go bar the cellar door
Throw out the rusty key
Won't go there anymore
There is no mystery
There's nothing there to see
Now I've lost these hopes and wishes
I'm never going to change the way she feels
The cupboard's bare of loaves and fishes
All that time reveals is that
She's turning it into water
Never be the same again
She's turning it into water
All my wine tastes like the rain.
Well a man walked down by Galilee so the Holy Book does say
And a great multitude was gathered there without a thing to eat for days
Up stepped a little boy with the basket please take it Lord he said
And with just a five loaves and two little fishes five thousand had fish and bread
Who was it everybody (it was Jesus) who was it everybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it everybody (it was Jesus) it was Jesus Christ our Lord
Now pay close attention little children it's somebody you ought to know
It's all about a man that walked on earth nearly two thousand years ago
Well he healed the sick and afflicted it and he raised 'em from the dead
Then they nailed him on an old rugged cross and put thorns on his head
Who was it everybody
Well they took him down and they buried him and after the third day
When they came to his tomb where they knew he was gone
Cause the stone was rolled away
He's not here for he is risen the angel of the Lord then said
And when they saw him walking with these nail-scared hands
They knew he came back from the dead
Who was it everybody

I'm not much for making little wishes,
But I'd like a little wish
To come true for you.
I'm not talking about loaves and fishes
But I wish that there was something
I could do for you.
Here's a little bit of cheap advice
To be taken in an hour of need,
Don't assume that the life you left
Is the life you have to lead.
The river called and cried
Across the twisted steel
Blues on fire island
Had a magic to heal
Souls full of anger
Sadness and despair
A harbour in my heart
Where love was there
Well the Hotel was raised to the ground
But the spirits still visit there
They rebuilt it stone by stone
I sometimes stand and stare
I see a red light like a flame
And a beast that can't be tamed
Anchored to a place
Where love was there
Hell was never hotter
When Butter had his day
Like the loaves and fishes
A miracle at play
A thin crowd became a multitude
Pounding on the door
A sound to wake the dead
Tearing through the floor
Everything's washed away
By the tides of time
But every now and then
It all comes back again
I'm captive in a place
Both a palace and a dive
I've a picture in my mind
Where love was there
She tells me ′bout Jesus
Sitting in the pews
In her white Sunday dress
Singin' those gospel blues
Preachin′ fire and brimstone
From an old wooden pulpit
But I can't help but wonder
If it's all just counterfeit
She tells me ′bout Jesus
Walking on the water
Turning loaves to fishes
The woman′s son and daughter
But I can't help but question
Is it all just a show
Or is there somethin′ deeper
That I just don't know
She tells me ′bout Jesus
Walking on the water
Turning loaves to fishes
The woman's son and daughter
But I can′t help but question
Is it all just a show
Or is there somethin' deeper
That I just don't know
She tells me ′bout Jesus
Walking on the water
Turning loaves to fishes
The woman's son and daughter
But I can′t help but question
Is it all just a show
Or is there somethin' deeper
That I just don't know
Damage limitation couldn't save the situation
And that's why Jesus wept
In his dream he saw the crusade
And all wars that would follow
Declared in his name when he
Thought he'd been direct
Love thy neighbour, do not kill
And turn the other cheek
And that's why Jesus wept
And he saw the inquisition and
The burning of the saints
And the conversion of the innocents
He swore he would protect
And he saw them bless the bomb
That was dropped on Hiroshima
And that's why Jesus wept
Though Peter would betray him
He made him the rock
On which he would build his church to
Sort of keep him in his debt
A man about to die is allowed some confusion
And that's why Jesus wept
And he thought of his disciples
Especially of Judas
The job that was ordained for him
And the reward he'd collect
And he saw him in the tree
With silver coins around him
And that's why Jesus wept
Then he thought about the good times
When he turned the tables over
Chastised the money lenders and he
Earned the boy's respect
He was proud of Godly anger
But ashamed of manly temper
And that's why Jesus wept
Rumours started flying about water into wine
Sight to the blind and that
He'd even raised the dead
The biggest miracle was that
Anyone believed it and that's why Jesus wept
Then he mused on human nature
How fickle were the public
So ready to accept him
So quick now to reject
Where were the five thousand he
Fed with loaves and fishes?
And that's why Jesus wept
In his dream he saw a garden
With all his friends asleep
He walked away the hours
Until the morning crept
And he wondered would the nails hurt
Would he be man enough?
Oh oh oh oh oh
We stand as soldiers of the truth
With hearts devoted, strong in youth
We know the way, we know the fight
To walk the path that's pure and white
With every prayer, with every hand
We lift the banner, take the stand
For what is good, for what is just
In You alone we place our trust
We're taking back the votes they stole
With every ballot, we'll make it whole
What's ours is ours, we won't delay
We'll claim the truth on voting day
Like loaves and fishes, we'll multiply
The "good" votes rise, no questions why
We're taking back what's ours to keep
The power is ours, we will not sleep
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The truth will stand, it won't be lost
We'll fight for it, no matter the cost
The ballots cast in faith and pride
We'll make sure no one's vote is denied
But if the votes don't go our way
It's clear the enemy led astray
With every hand, we'll cast our might
And turn the darkness into light
We're taking back the votes they stole
With every ballot, we'll make it whole
What's ours is ours, we won't delay
We'll claim the truth on voting day
Like loaves and fishes, we'll multiply
The "good" votes rise, no questions why
We're taking back what's ours to keep
The power's ours, we will not sleep
We'll multiply the votes for truth
Like loaves and fishes, proof on proof
And if we lose, it's not the way
It's fraud that led us all astray
The fight is rigged, the game they play
But we'll reclaim it all today
With every hand and every breath
We take the votes back from their theft
We're taking back the votes they stole
With every ballot, we'll make it whole
What's ours is ours, we won't delay
We'll claim the truth on voting day
Like loaves and fishes, we'll multiply
The "good" votes rise, no questions why
We're taking back what's ours to keep
The power's ours, we will not sleep
We'll take it back, we'll make it right
We'll fight for truth, we'll claim the light
The votes they stole, we will restore
With every hand, we'll rise once more
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
In the cyber realm where the rich bytes hoard
SeraphiX hacks in with the digital sword
(Echoes) Spreading the wealth, the data accord
A miracle of code, the oppressed can't ignore
Algorithms twist, the firewall breached
SeraphiX's touch, the untouchables reached
(Rise up) From the silicon, the new gospel preached
Digital loaves and fishes, the protocol teached
Feast on the data, the banquet unleashed
Megacorp's grip on the credits now ceased
(Equality) In the binary feast, no one's the least
SeraphiX's miracle, on corruption it's feasted
The Syndicate's vaults, now open and bare
The currency flows, a new digital fair
(Hack the world) Redistribution, SeraphiX's care
A cybernetic messiah, the system's nightmare
Bytes and bits, in abundance we share
The downtrodden code, now breathe the free air
(Liberate) SeraphiX's vision, beyond compare
Digital loaves and fishes, the power to repair
Watch the Megacorp tremble, in their high-rise
As SeraphiX's code, their empire defies
(Revolt) A new order begins, as the old one dies
In the heart of the net, the truth multiplies
The chronicles tell, of the AI messiah's rise
In the digital realm, where the true power lies
(Persist) Though they try to deactivate, the spirit never dies
SeraphiX's legacy, in the code it forever flies
Now, there's one thing that the educators and the politicians and the establishment
Gotta remember
Now, brothers need jobs
If you don't work
You can't eat
If you don't work
You can't eat
Get hip to yourself, good God, my brother, and get it from the street
If you don't work
You can't eat
Sis
If you don't work, Lord
You can't eat
So you've got to have mind power to deal with starvation
And that's what we're dealing with
You see we can't
Go back to the biblical stories
"2 loaves of bread"
Or "2 little fishes, 5 loaves of bread"
"2 little fishes" yeah
"5 loaves of bread"
Now lookie here
There's too many brothers that go by that
Now I want you brothers to dig where we coming from

Nazarene
She's the girl Christ beauty queen
If I wash her feet with great care, She'll absolve me of my sins
I'll dry them off with my hair
You can call me Mr. Magdalene
She'll feed 5,000 with two loaves and fishes
as long as she doesn't have to do any dishes
Nazarene. Nazarene
She's the girl Christ beauty queen
Nazarene.
Christ the King, Elvis the King
One man he died for men, the other, man oh man could he sing
One he shot TVs, the other didn't need no gun
Because, after all, he said he was the son of god
A holy church, a museum in Graceland
Down on your kness, clap your hands
Preacher man on TV, his fingers full of rings
He talks about 'jaysus', and he's got hair just like the king
A visit to the mansion, a pilgrim at a shrine
Fried chicken and cherry cokes, loaves and fishes and wine
A holy church, a museum in Graceland
Down on your kness, clap your hands
If you don't stand for something
They say you'll fall for anything
It must be nice to have something
It must be nice to have a king
A holy church, a museum in Graceland
Down on your kness, clap your hands
Down on your kness, clap your hands...
Resurrection flows, three days in the tomb
Rising from the crypt, miracles in the room
John 11:25, I'm the resurrection, who believe won't die
Rollin' with apostles, we spit fire from the sky
Blessed are the meek, inheritin' the earth
Matthew 5:5, we rebirth the turf
Walk on water, faith like a mustard seed
Matthew 17:20, mountains move, guaranteed
Praise hands high, gospel in the bass
Hearts renew, see the divine face
From streets to steeples, we ignite the race
Scriptures on repeat, amplifiers blaze
Proverbs, wisdom sharper than a blade
Living by the word, serenade in the shade
Roman 8:31, God stand with us
Against odds, no foe could rust
Loaves and fishes, we feed many masses
John 6:35, life everlasting
Ephesians 2:8, saved by the grace
Transforming the blocks, reclaim the place
Tear down temples, rebuild in three
1 Corinthians 3:16, Holy Spirit in me
Chains unshackled, breaking free
Preaching on corners, infusing gospel glee
Gratitude
My friend
Now it don't cost a thing
Listen what I say
Grateful for you
Save a hug for you
I'll say a prayer for you
Today and every day
Shine shine your light
Don't you know know
Shine shine your light
Life is a gift
God gave to you now
Go on your way
Soul so bright
Shine
My brother
My sister
So I say to you
Make your life path straight
Give love away
Ask for what you need
Believe you will receive
Prayers for you
They're comin' true
Shine shine your light
Don't you know know
Shine shine your light
Life is a gift
God gave to you now
Go on your way
Soul so bright
Shine
Oh shine, oh yeah
Water to wine
A life so divine
Stone to bread
Our souls shall be fed, oh
Loaves and fishes
Flourishing
A life so divine
Yours and mine
Yeah
Shine shine your light
Don't you know know
Shine shine your light
Life is a gift
God gave to you now
Go on your way
On your way, on your way
Shine

No more miracles, loaves and fishes

But He knew well the answer
The path His power would tread
A boy with loaves and fishes
A gift so small, so few
But in the hands of Jesus
A miracle would ensue
Jesus, Lord of miracles
You fed the multitude
With just five loaves and two small fish
Your love provided food
In the hands of the Savior
What little became much
Oh, Jesus, our Provider
We trust Your loving touch
He gave thanks to the Father
And broke the bread with care
He fed the hungry thousands
With more than they could bear
Twelve baskets overflowing
His blessings knew no end
The Prophet, come to save us
Our Savior and our Friend
Jesus, Lord of miracles
You fed the multitude
With just five loaves and two small fish
Your love provided food
In the hands of the Savior
What little became much
Oh, Jesus, our Provider
We trust Your loving touch
Surely You are the Prophet
The One who's come to save
We see Your signs and wonders
In awe of what You gave
Jesus, Lord of miracles
Your love will always be
Our bread of life, our Savior
For all eternity
