Their Gods Do Not Have Surgeons
Verse 1]
They came like beasts who’d tasted blood
First a few and then the flood
Coursing over hill and dale
Wet paw prints on their bloody trail
Return the peace you took from me
Give me back my community
Show us the goodwill you were shown
But leave us alone
[Refrain]
And restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
Yeah, restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
[Verse 2]
Their hunger like a worm inside them
No sacred place could be denied them
They who talk all day of beauty
Call all the plain things dirty
Melted holes in celluloid
Give me back what you’ve destroyed
You who come demanding proof
Let your God rebuild this roof
[Refrain]
And restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
Yeah, restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
[Bridge]
Make it whole again if you can
Stand in the smoke and say some prayers
Wave your hand
[Refrain]
And restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
Restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
