In sunlight by the river,
The Tench produces answers
The information giver,
Happy ever after?
A living photocopier,
A sort of fortune cookie
The Tench produces answers
In sunlight by the river.
Who is our enemy? Influential circles.
How many will die? All will be killed.
What should we do? Yield to the attraction.
The answers ooze out like a drink is spilled
It answers all our questions
But we don't hear what it says
Unless we happen to agree
We won't believe the prophecy
Why are we alive? To heighten our power.
Is there a God? You would not believe me.
Are we in danger? Ambition devours.
If it had only said 'Yes' then we could make our plea
It's the answer to our problems
But we don't hear what it says
Unless we happen to agree
We won't believe the prophecy
