OUR SAVIOUR'S HYMN
"Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him." [Luke 15:1, The Holy Bible, KJV]
Thinking of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
Go Nick, go into your art studio
And sense all the devils waiting there.
Then go down to the City Hotel.
Your followers are caaaaaaalling for you.
Nick, why are all the drunkards singing?
They are singing for the endless night.
Nick, why are all your fanatics following?
They are falling awaaaaaaay from the light.
This dying world is our Saviour's hymn,
A few words in which to acknow-ledge,
The King who died and lives.
This dying world is our Saviour's hymn,
As the light grows ever dim.
Nick, why are all the drunkards crying?
They are crying in the endless night.
Nick, why are all your fanatics staggering?
They are falling awaaaaaaay from the light.
This dying world is our Saviour's hymn,
A few words in which to acknow-ledge,
The King who died and lives.
This dying world is our Saviour's hymn,
As the light grows ever dim.
Oh Nick, tell me who are they toasting?
They are toasting the endless night.
Oh, then I'm so sorry for their thinking.
They are falling awaaaaaaay from the light.
This dying world is our Saviour's hymn,
A few words in which to acknow-ledge,
The King who died and lives.
This dying world is our Saviour's hymn,
As the light grows ever dim,
As the light grows ever dim,
As the light grows ever dim,
As the light grows ever dim.
"Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death," [Psalm 13:3, The Holy Bible, KJV] |
