[Spoken Intro]
The beat goes on
The mind goes on
The whirlwinds blow
As always and forever it will be

As life goes on in desperation and hate
So too it goes on in contentment and happiness
The beat of life goes on, everchanging

This album is people throughout the world
Their ideas, beliefs, their emotions
We hold only the tools through which to express time through music
And the beat goes on

So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord
And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth Peor; but no man knoweth of his burial place unto this day
And Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died
His eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated
And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days
So the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended
And there arose none a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face
In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh
And to all his servants, and to all his land
And then all that mighty hand, and then all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel
Amen
