Beasts of the spirit Spirit of the beast
You feel it and you hear it and the wonders never cease
Listen to your heart pumping blood in your head
Stare at the moon till it turns blood red
You got to listen to the words that the lioness said
And watch the spider workin on the spider web
Cause the spider's connecting all the famines and the feasts

Beasts of the spirit Spirit of the beast

Beasts of the spirit Spirit of the beast
You love it and you fear it as the mysteries increase
Go swimming in the ocean of the sweetest pain
The blood and the semen and the milk and the rain
We are bodies of water in a liquid chain
Bound together again and again
And the tie that binds is the struggle for release
Beasts of the spirit Spirit of the beast

Beasts of the spirit Spirit of the beast
You can try to get near it with your bible and your priest
But there's no holy grail no golden fleece
Just the whisper of the wind making love to the trees
And the fury of the storm on the open seas
The bleat of the lamb and the buzz of the bees
And your own gasp of wonder as you fall to your knees
