Monsters Of Folk - His Master's Voice

mohammed rolling dice with christ at twilight…
and they hear their master’s voice..
they run to do their chores…
at master’s calling.
their job tonite: re-write the bible…
for a whole new generation of non-believers.

the pastor screams out to the crowd:
“there’s evil that must be put down!”
and it touches the soldier boy…
he heeds his master’s voice…
his life is calling.
sweet soldier boy..
the speaker is bleeding…
he hears his master’s voice…
do you hear your master’s voice?
CALLING…
like the lady siren’s call.

sweet soldier quiet-
just staring at the ceiling…
and he hears his master’s voice…
he hears the call to war…
the siren’s singing.

out on the line-
there’s something that strikes his side…
and he sees his inner child…
he hears his mother’s voice…
softly calling.
spirit soldiers mother hovers…
she holds up a paper cup…
and the sound of life and love fills her ear.

you’re only gonna hear
what you want to hear..
do you hear your master’s voice now?

mohammed and christ speak twice as nice…
but the one that i like best-
he sings inside my chest…
i hear my master’s voice now…
calling out.. calling out..
calling out… calling out………
