Waiting for the manna, coming from the west
Deuteronomy 8:16;
John 6:31;
John 6:49
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes
Death a certain harvest, scattered from the skies
Skin and bones is creeping, doesn't know he's dead
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head
Politicians argue, sharpening their knives
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives
Revelation 18:11-13
Ivory madonna, dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna, coming from the west
(..)
Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on its way
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Luke 2:3-4
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay
Ecclesiastes 8:15;
Eccl. 9:7;
Luke 12:19-20
Jesus, son of Mary, is born again today
Matthew 1:16;
John 3:3
Ivory madonna, dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna, coming from the west
Ivory madonna, dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna, coming from the west
