it isn't long before we shut the gate behind us

and who is with us is with us and those who didn't make it

will fend for themselves...to die in a wilderness

or find the tribe to which they truly belong...


no agreed idea of salvation is valid

not when so many are on their own unique roads

and any agreed compromise is a betrayal to those

stumbling along their roads


be careful when you speak be careful when you moan

any huckster will work his way in and upset

the balance of each tribe's template

like the beggar beseeching for quarters to live


you must help him but if he spends it on a drunk

then the consequences are on him
