ARID PLACE WITH NO WAY OUT
(music and lyrics by The Ox Prison)

Arid place with no way out,
Desert all around.
Common sense has left this town,
Got buried in the ground.

Firetrucks go rolling by,
Sirens wailing loud.
Buildings burn and bullets fly,
Rivers all dry out.

Devil plundered golden rules,
Sold them off as junk.
Lies replaced the highest truth,
Sobriety got drunk.
Politicians drill the holes
Right into your brain;
Take your money and your soul
Until you go insane.

Firetrucks go rolling by,
Sirens wailing loud.
Buildings burn and bullets fly,
Rivers all dry out.

No escape from prison cell.
Fear will keep you down.
Nonexistent walls of hell
And debt in which you drown.
Wall Street people marching on.
Main Street standing still.
State is Deep but bold enough
To dwell upon The Hill.

Arid Place With No Way Out

Malfunction


I've been feeling a little under the weather for the past few days.
Maybe I'm tired, or maybe it's too hot.

There's no need to worry about it.
I don't want to cause any trouble for you.

This machine has been malfunctioning since last night.
The parts needed to repair it are no longer available.

Due to the intense sunlight, there are few people on the streets.
Outside the window lies a world in ruins.

I'm not thinking anything strange.
I'm just feeling a little fed up.

This machine has been malfunctioning since last night.
You were the only one who could repair it.

I just feel a little tired and have a slight fever.
I've already taken some aspirin, so I'll be fine.

It's not because you're not here.
I'm just feeling a little down, that's all.

This machine has been malfunctioning since last night.
The parts needed to repair it are no longer available.

Lyrics:


Today…
I saw the faces I had buried in my heart for twenty long years...
In the lines of people waiting for grain,
My breath stopped in an instant...
My brothers from childhood…
The hands that threw me into the pit…
Now knelt before me,
Their eyes sunken with hunger...

My heart pounded as if it would tear through my chest,
My throat burned dry like fire...
Tears pressed upward,
But I hid them behind
The mask of dignity worn by the governor of Egypt...

I want to go home…
I want to go home…
Back to where my soul can breathe…
To the arms of the Father 
To the arms of the Father
Back to where my soul can breathe…

I spoke to them coldly...
Not because of anger...
But because I feared my heart
Would collapse if I didn’t...

Until I knew whether they had truly changed,
Until I knew Benjamin was safe,
I could not let my emotions
Rule over me...

But today,
When Benjamin stood before me,
I could no longer endure...

The little hand that once slept in my arms
Now stood grown into a man before me...
And the dam inside me broke...

I wept aloud...
Twenty years of suppressed time
Falling like a waterfall at once...

The terror of the pit...
The shame of the slave market...
The cold walls of Potiphar’s prison...
All of it surged up my throat...

And finally,
My voice broke and burst open...

I am Joseph…
I am Joseph…
Is my father… still alive...

I want to go home…
I want to go home…
Back to where my soul can breathe…
To the arms of the Father 
To the arms of the Father
Back to where my soul can breathe…

Do not blame yourselves...
God sent me before you...
To preserve life…
It was not you who sent me here...
It was God...

I felt it...
What true freedom was...
Forgiveness was not erasing the past...
Forgiveness was seeing God’s providence
Written over it...

I want to go home…
I want to go home…
Back to where my soul can breathe…
To the arms of the Father 
To the arms of the Father
Back to where my soul can breathe…

When I embraced Benjamin’s neck,
Our tears soaked each other’s shoulders.
As I held each brother one by one,
The stone buried inside my chest
Melted into tears...

We wept together...
No offenders, no victims...
Just broken brothers
Crying in the arms of God...

I want to go home…
I want to go home…
Back to where my soul can breathe…
To the arms of the Father 
To the arms of the Father
Back to where my soul can breathe…
