This is funny.... so I typed "They take no prisoners in the promised war" (lyric from "Moonchild") into Google... and check out some of the shit that came back... 3 versions from the first ten...

******************
1)

Moonchild...

Well it's a righteous dream
Out of mind
A righteous dream
Out of mind
Is it right just dreaming
Out of my day

Take your horses
Let them crawl
Put them in their cages
That's righteous for your soul

Open your eyes
Despite what seems
Longevity
That's a righteous part of me

Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down down down down down down

Well it's a righteous day
Out of mind
A righteous day

Never return, I'm waiting no more
They take no prisoners in the promised war
I'll die for this
I'll die for this
Take it away

Moonchild
Take off for safer places
Can't you see
You're losing me

Well I'm listening to an empty hall
You can't see for they've burned before
They take me down to the window shame
Longevity hear my fame

***********************

Moonchild... Moonchild Moonchild Moonchild

Well it's a righteous day, burn out with manure
A righteous day, burn out with manure

Take your horses
Let them crawl
Put them up in cages
That's righteous

Open your eyes
Despite what seems
Longevity
That's a righteous part of me

Refrain:
Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Moonchild, lower me down down down...

Well it's a righteous day, burn out with manure
A righteous day, burn out with manure

Never return away no more
They take no prisoners in the promised war
you'll die for this
Die for this, take on

Refrain

Take off for safer places
Can't you see, you're losing me

Refrain

A revisit to an empty hall
Knelt down where I burned before
Well wait now, avail no shame
Longevity in my main

Moonchild

I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting
I don't walk before the racking horse
Wedging to the barbed wire

Longevity, longevity

Knelt down where I burned before
I know when you were

Down down down, moonchild.

Moonchild...

Well it's a righteous dream
But out of mind, yeah
A righteous dream
But out of mind, yeah

Tend the horses
Let 'em crawl
Put 'em in their cages

That's righteous for the soul

Open your eyes
And despite what's deep
Longevity
Well, that's righteous for the weak

Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down down down down down down

Well it's a righteous day
But out of mind, yeah
And I give your last rite
Oh, it's a righteous day

Never return, I will wait no more
Take no prisoners in the promised war
You'll die for this
Die for this
Take them

Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down

Moonchild
Here come the silver pieces
Can't you see
You're losing me

Moonchild
Lower me down,
Moonchild
Lower me down down down down down down

Moonchild
Lower me down,
Moonchild
Lower me down down down down down down

Revisit to an empty hall
You can't see I've been burned before
Well they tear you down and they'll bear your shame
Longevity hear my pain

Moonchild (lower me down)

And I'm waiting, and I'm raging,
And I'm waiting, and I'm raging,
And a white moon falls, a black moon calls,
Waiting to defy the One

Moonchild (lower me down)

Longevity, longevity,
I melt down where I burned before
Longevity, longevity,
I melt down where I burned before
And I know where you lay
I melt down where I burned before
And I know where you lay (down, down, down)

Okay

Moonchild

It goes on. So okay, I confess, I can't *always* figure out what Carl is saying. And isn't it rumored that many of the lyrics were never written down? But why do people have the effrontery to print "lyrics" when they obviously have no idea whether or not what they are saying has any basis in fact? Or maybe the manure thing was a joke and I've missed something somewhere....

"Tell me, what is reality?"
