PANDORA'S BOX song lyrics/Words by Joel Sattler

He was riding a donkey and heading back home
On the road that leads down from Gomorrah
All he had were the clothes on his back and a box
On the side was the label "Pandora"

He was thirsty as hell so he stopped at a well
Where the refugees lined up for water
There were few that survived and some barely alive
On the second day after the slaughter

He was careful to thank the gods as he drank
But he couldn't remember for what
He was drawn by a surly, delirious girl
Whose eyes had seen too much of blood

She demanded a favor, he nodded and gave her
The box, saying "Surely you need it.
It's no good to me anymore. Here's the key.
Be carefull that you do not free it."

When she opened the chest and found emptiness,
She said, "Mister, you've got to be joking!
You don't even care that there's nothing in there!"
He said, "Sister, that's what I was hoping!"
