I was swimming in the cool waters of an oasis   I was swimming in a mirage   I was wondering just where this road would take us   It's the same one that we have been on      From the city of Bosra to Jerusalem   From the West into the East   Only one more sacrifice   Then we'll finally get us all some peace      The man behind the man behind the curtain is working   Pulling levers by his crystal ball   He's plowing the fields for chrysanthemums   Waiting for the sun to fall      He threw a bone to the starving faithful   They got down on their knees   The man behind the man behind the curtain is talking   But he never betrays what he thinks      Silver reflection   Cherry Blossom Baptism   Silver reflection   Cherry Blossom Baptism      Now that the rose is gone from the garden   What will we do with the thorn?   Silver reflection   Cherry Blossom Baptism      If I went down to the river of Jordan   Just to bathe my wearisome soul   If I could just touch the hem of his garment   Well then I know he'd take me home      To see the water in the river boil   To see the city consumed by fire   To see the man's cast shadow scorched into the earth   And flies buzzing in the air like a funeral choir      Silver reflection   Cherry Blossom Baptism   Silver reflection   Cherry Blossom Baptism      Now that the rose is gone from the garden   What will we do with the thorn grown on the grove?   Silver reflection   Cherry Blossom Baptism
