And the Scriptures Sayth

And the Scriptures told 
of a man on a donkey 
they told us how he
would free us from tyranny

What they didn't say was 
that he may get lost in time 
running around in circles 
looking for mountains to climb
and the mountains he found 
all forced him back 
to wander again 
on an unknown track 

thus mankind lives 
his life in dreams 
never knowing where to go 
or that's how it seems
