Oriental Deity (1975)

Tell me of a different land

Where silent breezes blow

And people walk on desert sand

To reach the place they know

The sun and moon have made one pass

Over the bleak and darkened sky

And one can hear the Buddhist mass

Heard over the hills so high

A village is far across the hill

And many people are filled with joy

For now they are at the mercy and will

Of some new strange and powerful boy

He guides them down a jungle road

Where lies a temple black with time

He tells them this is his abode

They begin to chant in harmonious rhyme

Our master has come to save us all

With black hair and sparkling eyes

We kneel to him and praises we call

For his eternal spirit never dies

But evil lurks behind the smile

He wears upon his lustrous face

And the demons for quite awhile

Will plague his special race
