Crucifixion - Phil Ochs



Em D

And the night comes again to the circle studded sky

G Bm

The stars settle slowly, in lonliness they lie

Am D G Em

'Till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised

Am D G Em

Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed

Am D G Em

But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze

Am D Em

With the speed of insanity, then he dies.



In the green fields a turnin', a baby is born

His cries crease the wind and mingle with the morn

An assault upon the order, the changing of the guard

Chosen for a challenge that is hopelessly hard

And the only single sound is the sighing of the stars

But to the silence and distance they are sworn



Em C D

So dance dance dance

Em

Teach us to be true

C

Come dance dance dance

D Em

'Cause we love you



Images of innocence charge him go on

But the decadence of destiny is looking for a pawn

To a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate

And a blinding revelation is laid upon his plate

That beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate

And God help the critic of the dawn.



So he stands on the sea and shouts to the shore,

But the louder that he screams the longer he's ignored

For the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs

And the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged

'Till the giant is aware, someone's pulling at his leg,

And someone is tapping at the door.



To dance dance dance

Teach us to be true

Come dance dance dance
