The garden of Gethsemane
Tears in my eyes in the dead of night
I was so afraid to die
But then I still thought it was worth a try

[Interlude]
When I first met your world in space
And I recognized the human race
I found a puzzling side by side
Of inspiration and dark desperation
Gentleness and savage rage
Self-awareness, beast in a cage
Your every moment could’ve been your next
But I guess you got lost in context

[Chorus]
Oooooohhh – you could’ve been so smart
To start an evolution of the heart
You can't afford to not evolve no more
That’s not what I came down here for

[Interlude]

As I recall I taught you love
To the gods in you and god above
But money is your new god now
My words corrupted in the name of power
Dying for those who kill in my name
Definitely was a lot of pain in vain
If human rights apply to but a few
I’ve got news for you:
Your praise seems empty

[Chorus]
Oooooohhh – if you can find it in your hearts
To turn a page and make a brand new start
Before your world can’t take it anymore
That’s not what I came down here for

[Interlude + Solo]

You all agree my world is true
But have you ever thought it through?
You talk of love and then you kill some more
That’s not what I came down here for

[Interlude]

The garden of Gethsemane
Tears in my eyes in the dead of night …
