about

11. Crisis (Awake of the Sheep)
People often feel they need a good leader and a sense of direction. When the right leader is lacking, sometimes the wrong leader takes this position, and we all follow him. Occasionally, if we’re lucky, smart and strong, we break the deal.

lyrics

The day has come, and there you were
You’d guide us through, and you’d know where
No one else had something new to say

We felt that god stood aloof
Who else, we asked, could show the truth
No one seemed to know just what to do

We came along willing to
Support, believe, be one with you
(but) someone came and took it all away

We prayed since we learned to speak
The heavens fell as you peaked

It seemed no challenge was too grave for you
The skies were kneeling down as you assumed
the lead, you’d know which way to go
And we would rather follow any fool
Than question lack of logic as a rule

We gladly gave you everything we had
We’d love to fight whoever drove you mad
To think that you could lead us to
The promised land of milk and honey bees
Blind sheep will follow any dog with fleas

We roamed your temples almost every day
We swallowed every word your preachers say

We hear you now, you prevailed
We get you now, we have failed
Men and worms are scummer than your earth
The EGO freak is here to stay
A shepherd leads, the sheep o-bey
No one else could ever save the day

Long live the lies that you spread
To guide the minds long gone dead
Somewhere out there lies what we deserve

Modest Midget Amsterdam, Netherlands

Starting as composer Lionel (Lonny) Ziblat's idea Modest Midget combines his love for Rock with his passion to classical music, theatre, film music and different folklore styles.
With this virtual band in mind he recorded an album which ended up growing into a real life band, a group of fine musicians that manage to bring this slightly weird sounding music to life in the form of a rock show. ... more
