    A bit of raga-rock with an Indian feel. We tried to make it heavy, for your pleasure, so there you go. Rock Music.

    Story Behind the Song
    This is my song about this whole "Jesus is
    Coming in 2000" thing. It's not about Y2K.
    I remember reading Kurt Vonnegut's statement
    that "...if the year 2000 comes and goes and
    the Second Coming hasn't occurred, we'll all
    know for sure that God is not into
    numerology."
    So I wrote a song about it which declares
    that the Second Coming probably won't be
    anytime soon, but we could have ourselves a
    nice Raga Century. The Raga is an Indian form
    of music which is highly developed and relies
    on structured themes, but has room for
    experimentation built into its structure.
    Maybe it's what I'd like to
    see our culture become: highly developed with
    a structure, but flexible as well.

    Lyrics
    they say the end is near, but it's all inside their heads
    we could live in fear, but we might as well be dead
    we can laugh, we can cry, we can do most anything
    we can live, we can die, but i just wanna sing


    baby I foresee- the raga century
    I don't think that God is into numerology
    if armageddon comes, we must do the best we can
    to save the raga soul and to do the raga dance


    -CHORUS-
    baby, I can see, a new world comin'
    I can see it now
    Baby I can see a new world comin' on
    wanna be there now


    heaven help us all- the time is coming soon
    they see a desert night underneath a reggae moon
    the blind lead the blind in a search for the sign
    the Devil's in the water and the witch is in the wine
