Procol Harum
The Idol
You shall not make for yourself an idol
in the form of anything
in heaven above
or on the earth beneath
or in the waters below.
~Exodus 20:4
Oh the idol!They knew the monster's every trick
They knew his secrets every stitch
All of it had been a game
Nothing but a charlatan
Perhaps there was a chance of coming through
It even seemed that he might think it too
But he could see no point in diving in
He knew that he would neither sink nor swim
And so they found he'd nothing left to say
Just another idol turned to clay
It seemed to them he must know what to do
They knew that only he could pull them through
They thought that he would make a plan
He'd work it out, he'd understand
Like drowning men they clutched at every straw
They knew that he had saved them all before
But he could see no point in diving in
He knew that he would neither sink nor swim
I will destroy your high places,cut down your incense altars
and pile your dead bodies
on the lifeless forms of your idols.
I will abhor you.
~Leviticus 26:30
