SIMON & GARFUNKEL LYRICS
"I Am a Rock"
FROM FATHERS POINT OF VIEW
A winter's day
FROZEN LIKE A LOG
In a deep and dark December;
LONGING FOR SUMMER TO COME
I am alone,
THINKING ABOUT HOME
Gazing from my window to the streets below
INTO A CONCRETE JUNGLE OF SORROW AND DISAPPOINTMENT
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
WHERE FOOTPRINTS MELT AWAY
I am a rock, “cosmos”
WHICH IS JUST FLOATING BY
I am an island.
SURROUNDED BY WATER BUT NONE TO DRINK
I've built walls,
BUT I STILL FEEL NAKED AND EXPOSED
A fortress deep and mighty,
WHERE I THINK I CAN HIDE
That none may penetrate.
TO SEE ME AS I REALLY AM
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH, IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP
The film "They Live", by John Carpenter
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
IT IS BUT A LIE AND DECEPTION
I am a rock,
WHICH IS JUST FLOATING BY
I am an island.
SURROUNDED BY WATER BUT NONE TO DRINK
Don't talk of love,
UNLESS YOU KNOW THE ONE WHO IS LOVE
But I've heard the words before;
RINGING IN MY EARS
It's sleeping in my memory.
NEVER TO BE FORGOTTON
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
BUT I WILL ACCOUNT FOR THE ONES THAT BRING LIFE
If I never loved I never would have cried.
BUT I CAN FEEL LOVE FROM ABOVE
I am a rock,
WHICH IS JUST FLOATING BY
I am an island.
SURROUNDED BY WATER BUT NONE TO DRINK
I have my books
TO READ ABOUT HOME
And my poetry to protect me; “Wisdom”
Wisdom
The Wisdom of Joshua the father of Sirach.
1:1. All Wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with Him for ever.
1:2. Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity?
1:3. Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and Wisdom?
1:4. Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.
1:5. The word of God Most High is the Fountain of Wisdom; and her ways are everlasting commandments.
I am shielded in my Armor,
TO PROTECT FROM AN EVIL EMPIRE
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
WHERE I WAS BORN AGAIN INTO SPIRIT TRUTH
I touch no one and no one touches me.
UNTILL FATHER POURS HIS LOVE ON ME
I am a rock,
WHICH IS JUST FLOATING BY
I am an island.
SURROUNDED BY WATER BUT NONE TO DRINK
And a rock feels no pain;
WHEN THEY ARE DEAD TO SELF
In The Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Paul said, "It is NOT I That Lives"
It is not "I" that lives but Christ lives in me (Galatians 2:20). It is not "Self" that lives but "Christ" lives in me. It is not "Self" that lives but "The Anointed One" - the One whose head/mind is anointed with the "Oil of Understanding" - the oil that lubricates the "seized-up" mind and gets it working again, understanding the TRUTH or WORD of God. It was, or is, "seized-up" because "Self" was, or is, jamming-up the works and blocking the channel through which the Holy Spirit can flow to "lead you into all righteousness" and wash you clean from inside, as it flows through you and then your "cup overflows" to others, to wash them clean with the TRUTH and the Light of understanding, that the now "working mind" receives in a Life united with God, its supply of understanding; oil and Light. Then the Light of understanding with its "shield of faith" (Ephesians 6) effortlessly and painlessly conquers the fear and darkness of ignorance (given by Satan and maintained by believing his lies) that lives in you. God thereby teaching you, from within ("in-tuition"), to be like Him, so that you need no man to teach you (1 John 2:27) because his "Self" will get in your way.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father Which is in heaven IS perfect.
And an island never cries.
WHEN SHE CAN DRINK FROM THE WELL OF SALVATION
The film "They Live", by John Carpenter (1988), demonstrates both the fight on Earth, between the servants of God and the servants of Satan and his mammon-materialism, who are finally discovered, revealed and defeated, and also that things on this planet are seldom as they seem to be, due to Satan’s lies that he has used to deceive the whole world and give people truth-blindness.

Matthew 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
10:27 What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in Light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops.
10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell-fire.
In the beginning we see that the people who serve God are poor and oppressed by the servants of Satan and his mammon - materialism, where those who believe in righteousness are oppressed, robbed and kept poor by those who are willing to sell their souls to the Devil for material goods, wealth, elitism and power, that they can never keep, and one day soon will have to pay for, with their lives.
The 'Golden Rule'
The street preacher says: “They have taken the hearts and minds of our leaders. They have recruited the rich and the powerful and they have blinded us to the Truth, .. outside the limit of our sight, feeding off us, perched on top of us from birth to death are our owners…. they own us … they control us…. they are our masters. Wake up.”
King of kings’ Bible - Isaiah 3:12 [As for] My people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people, they which lead thee cause [thee] to err, and lead thee astray, to thy destruction.
3:13 The "I AM" standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
3:14 The "I AM" will enter into Judgment of the elders of His people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the share that belongs to the poor [is] in your houses.
3:15 What mean ye [that] ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts.
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon - materialism.
We are shown that evil aliens are running the world, helped by people, who sell-out to them for money, which we are shown has literally become their god...
In Revelation chapter 12 we are told that Satan and his angels, numbering one third of the Universe, were defeated and sent to the Earth, where they are imprisoned, unlike in the film where they are free and able to leave. This of course is their dream and not reality, because they are prisoners here. So Satan and his angels who were sent to the Earth are in fact aliens who are evil and selfish and use their technology to control and destroy the Earth's environment with the help of people who are willing to see the Earth's environment destroyed in exchange for money, elitism and power over their fellow man.
King of kings’ Bible - Revelation 12:4 And his tale (of lies - John 8:35) drew the third part of the "Stars" (ch. 9:1) of heaven (into his army), and did (cause them to be) cast to the Earth (for their treason against God): and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born (Christ - second coming).
12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon (Lucifer); and the dragon fought and his angels,
12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out to the earth, and his angels (you - Luke 9:55) were cast out with him (Matthew 25:41).
The rest of mankind who have not heeded God's warning through the Apostles to stay awake* have been blinded to the Truth; lulled to sleep and are sleep-walking to their own destruction; obeying and helping those in authority to achieve their evil ends. They have been deluded and conditioned through their television sets, films and advertisements to see things backwards, the way that Satan wants them to see things, and not to question his authorities, who are dressed in fancy deceptive uniforms, which disguise them and make them appear to be on the side of good, whereas they are really agents of evil, who enforce Satan’s illegal legislation**, brutally beat and kill dissenters with impunity and help to oppress their fellow man for Satan.
