The beast of burden
The working class slave
Saddled and shod
Sinks into the grave
While the eye cannot see
Nor the telescope find
Words in heaven
Spiritual signs
The beast of burden
Sits on a drain
His teeth are a grate
He’s lost his brain
While the eye cannot see
Nor the telescope find
Words in heaven
Or the spiritual sign
The beast of burden
Grows from the soil
Dirty fingernails
Mud on his soul
His feet are like horseshoes
As he drags the stone
His eyes are fettered
His heart is alone
While the eye cannot see
Nor the telescope find
Words in heaven
Or a spiritual sign
