The Road to New Jerusalem

The dragon told me, I heard him say,
Do you journey? Do you journey?
To New Jerusalem, hard is your way.
Travel through the night, travel I say.
Destroy by day, destroy I say.
Consume with fire, sword in hand.
Meet terror with terror, blood with blood.
And yours shall be this beautiful land.
Ask me, I say through the dessert.
Ask me, I say fear.

The eagle told me, I heard him say,
Do you journey? Do you journey?
To New Jerusalem, hard is your way.
Sky against the water, rising high.
Against the reflection you soar.
Meet with courage, firmly stand,
And they shall come against you no more.
Ask me, I say over the mountains.
Ask me, I say bravery.

The donkey told me, I heard him say,
Do you journey? Do you journey?
To New Jerusalem, hard is your way.
Go when they tell you to stop,
Run when they tell you to walk.
Reach blindly, lead blindly,
And they'll be no need to talk.
Ask me, I say by the road.
Ask me, I say ignorance.

The lamb told me, I heard him say,
Do you journey? Do you journey?
To New Jerusalem, hard is your way.
Show love and kindness in whatever you do,
Help those who've fallen, And they'll help you.
Be patient, gentle, just, and true.
Ask me, I say across the meadow.
Ask me, I say kindness.

The lion told me, I heard him say,
Do you journey? Do you journey?
To New Jerusalem, hard is your way.
Low to the ground, and through the grass you crawl.
Watch them with secret eyes,
Then pounce, and your enemy will fall.
Ask me, I say through the jungle.
Ask me, I say deceit.

The horse told me, I heard him say,
Do you journey? Do you journey?
To New Jerusalem, hard is your way.
Though trials aplenty may burden your back,
Be strong, endure to the end,
And for nothing will you ever lack.
Ask me, I say across the prairie.
Ask me, I say strength.

The serpent told me, I heard him say,
Do you journey? Do you journey?
To New Jerusalem, hard is your way.
In all things don't hesitate to lie,
Be mean, and quick, and evil.
In cruelty there's no such thing as try.
Ask me, I say by the back way.
Ask me, I say evil.

The dove told me, I heard him say,
Do you journey? Do you journey?
To New Jerusalem, hard is your way.
Be slow to anger, soft in speech.
Always faithful, always true.
Pray to the lord to guide and teach.
Ask me, I say through the front gate.
Ask me, I say faith.

Ask the angels, and your dreams,
Ask the fire, and the water,
Ask the earth, and the wind,
Better yet save your breath,
You've New Jerusalem to tend.
