Crucifixion (Live) Phil Ochs

[Verse 1]
And the night comes again to the circle-studded sky
The stars settle slowly, in loneliness they lie
'Til the universe explodes as a falling star is raised
Planets are paralyzed, the mountains are amazed
But they all glow brighter from the brilliance of the blaze
With the speed of insanity, then he died

[Verse 2]
In the green fields a-turning, a baby is born
His cries crease the wind, 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 sign is the sighing of the stars
But to the silence of distance they are sworn

[Chorus]
So dance dance dance
Teach us to be true
Come dance dance dance
'Cause we love you

[Verse 3]
Images of innocence charge him to 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
