Judge Smith - The Tribal Elders

The Conference was deadlocked,

We weren't getting anywhere.

The world was going to hell;

Then, a new voice addressed the Chair.

He'd been around for a while,

We thought we'd seen all he had to show.

There was all that raw charisma,

With nowhere for it to go.

Then the young man went to the podium

And said, "There's something that you should know…

"I am the Light. I am the Light of the World.

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World,

The blinding Light of Revelation,

The overwhelming Light of Love.

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World.

Of the World."

Then he was incandescent,

And the light streamed from his face.

It shone down deep within us all,

It filled the whole damn place.

It blazed out like a searchlight

As the vision raised its hand.

We had to turn our faces

From the radiance of the man.

The world changed in an instant,

And a Golden Age began.

"I am the Light. I am the Light of the World.

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World,

The blinding Light of Revelation,

The overwhelming Light of Love.

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World.

Of the World."

It started as a courtesy

Which he came to expect.

We wished to do him honour,

Show the Leader our respect,

So it became the custom,

When our Lord was close at hand,

To turn the power off,

And artificial light was banned.

"My Light shines best alone," he said,

"I knew you'd understand."

"I am the Light. I am the Light of the World.

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World,

The blinding Light of Revelation,

The overwhelming Light of Love.

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World.

Of the World."

Time came, we couldn't light a candle,

No one would have dared.

"My own Light should be quite enough

For people," he declared.

Then he turned his Powers skywards,

So strong had he become,

His scientists fired a black device,

Extinguishing the sun.

"You will have no other Light but Mine!" he said,

"I Am The One!"

"I am the Light. I am the Light of the World.

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World,

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World,

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World,

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World,

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World,

The blinding Light of Revelation,

The overwhelming Light of Love.

I am the Light. I am the Light of the World.

Of the World."
