Adonai

Adonai
- Caravan Ray

Adonai
Sweet Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Hailie Selassie
Whatever name you call him
there’s a good ol’ boy in Heavean
who will cook you some hot vittles
and pour you a strong whiskey
and take you to his bosom
on the day that you die
that you die

Because everyone is welcome in the house of the Lord
There’s no race or colour in the house of the Lord
No religious institutions in the house of the Lord
Just folks like you and me in the house of the Lord
Yeah, yeah

Now should you not subscribe to the anthropomorphic notion of a divine deity
Well humanist atheism is a reasonable position and that’s OK by me
Cos I’m not here to evangelise
Convert or proselytise
If it works for you and it helps you get along
Who’s to say who is right and who is wrong?
Not me, that’s for sure

Now let me tell you something,
There’s some folks who’d drop a bomb or draw a sword
And they say they do it in the name of their Lord
Blinded by ignorance and their foolish pride
They fight their wars, and claim that God’s on their side
Well, those people can just fuck off to Hell as far as I’m concerned

Adonai
Sweet Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Hailie Selassie
Whatever name you call him
there’s a good ol’ boy in Heavean
who will cook you some hot vittles
and pour you a strong whiskey
and he’ll take you to Nirvana
and then reincarnate you
and say “I’m in the rocks and waterâ€

Have you heard the Bible tell
of the tribes of Israel
long ago in the land of palestine?
Where they built a holy temple
dedicated to the worship
of the Lord that they called Adonai

[Chorus]
Adonai, Adonai
sing the name, sing the name, sing the name
Always and forever, never changing, just the same
sing the name of the Lord
sing Adonai

Have you heard that his name
was much too holy to profane
and to see him face to face meant to die?
Until Christ on the Mount of Olives
said to call Him
Abba - Father - Holy Father Adonai

[repeat chorus]

Have you heard the Gospel Story
how he layed aside his glory
and went up to the cross just to die?
And he cried like one forsaken
but up to heaven he was taken
and he sits at the right hand of Adonai.

[repeat chorus]

Have you heard that you and I
in the sweet by and by
will meet our Lord up in the sky?
And there'll be no pain or sorrow
in that eternal tomorrow
as we worship at the throne of Adonai.

[repeat chorus]

adonai - mab jonah
lyrics and vox by Bjam
music by noah mclaughlin and lots of dying hard drives

The vase breaks,
The car leaves,
I guess god has no faith
We left you with all the debris

My adonai,
Leave the religous song
So heave a sign
And say so long

I said 'hold on'
Grabbed your sleeve as you walked through the door
What's your truth based upon
I don't want to know

My adonai,
Leave the religous song
So heave a sign
And say so long

You told me to leave (So I left)
You said get out (So I went)
You yelled at me (So I was silent)

I looked at the cards
You told me to look for you
Can't speak your name
Who are you answering for

My adonai,
Leave the religous song
So heave a sign
And say so long
My adonai,
Leave the religous song
So heave a sign
And say so long

Adonai by Bjam

They glanced their ways
She smiled he grinned
His perfect jaw, his Abercrombie hair,
Her pretty smile, her soft and gentle skin

They wanted their Adonais
Perfect in the mind, but flawed outside
They want to be their Adonai
All they see and need is one

She laughed to her friends
She pined deep inside
He shrugged it off with the guys
He pined for her deep inside

They wanted their Adonais
Perfect in the mind, but flawed outside
They want to be their Adonai
All they see and need is one

She passed notes (He passed notes) (They passed notes)
But never wrote their names (Never wrote her name) (Never wrote his name)
They stayed awake (He stayed awake) (She stayed awake)
Praying that they will come (He might come) (She won't come)

Young love moved far away
Another time and place for them
She got another God
He got another Goddess

They wanted their Adonais
Perfect in the mind, but flawed outside
They want to be their Adonai
All they see and need is one

ADONAI by Melvin

So many things that we all wish would come true
Ironically the New World Order isn't new
You might as well just burn yourself in effigy
Until you feel the lightening and you fall down on your knees

Now come with me, yes, come with me
We'll walk across the water and we'll part the crimson sea
When greed becomes the devil that no man can stop
It's time to join together, take it right up to the top

Ha-Shem! Adonai!

So many falling for the egotistic ruse
So many people just like you and you and you and you and
all your crooked placards might as well say "pretty please"
until you feel the power and you fall down on your knees

Now say you will, now say you will
We'll come back from the dead for everybody that was killed
When evil is the gameplan and your brother's gone insane
it's time to join together and call out the only name

Ha-Shem! Adonai!

Adonai by Dr. Spectacular's Power Circus

Jesus loves me
I love puppies
Puppies love the truth

The truth is written
That I love kittens
And Jesus knows I do

Adonai
I'll say good night
And you are the only one who saves me from the dark

Adonai
If I die
Well I know you're the only one who saves my soul

The Lord's my shepherd
He finds green pastures
And he feeds his sheep

Well sheep are fluffy
But God made puppies
That's why I think God loves me

Adonai
I'll say good night
And you are the only one who saves me from the dark

Adonai
If I die
Well I know you're the only one who saves my soul

[Kill Me Sarah]

<b>Adonai - Kill Me Sarah</b>

Clutching at his breast he sighs
Water pouring from his eyes
Arms outstretched he softly cries
"Oh Adonai"

Kneeling at her lover's side
Body trembling, full of strife
"What I've done, it t'was not right.
Please forgive me, Adonai"

Hands outstretched to the light
In the crimson pool he lies
Looking intently in her eyes
"Oh lover, why?"
