Cherry Blossom Baptism Lyrics - Singles - Monks Of Doom

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 

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 

Silver reflection 

Cherry Blossom Baptism 

Silver reflection 

Cherry Blossom Baptism 

Now that the rose is gone from the garden 

What will we do with the thorn grown on the grove? 

Silver reflection 

Cherry Blossom Baptism
