Lyrics

[00:00.74]
[00:01.57] This postcard tells you where we've been
[00:04.54]
[00:07.09] And dirty dreams of pious men
[00:10.25]
[00:12.89] Who wake in fear but sleep again
[00:15.76] With what they've done
[00:18.48] With what they've done
[00:21.28] With all they've done
[00:23.70] Some prophet died but wrote it down
[00:26.62]
[00:29.21] Our serpent bell is on the ground
[00:32.03]
[00:34.40] And all the ladies sing it loud
[00:37.56] Hallelujah
[00:40.02] Hallelujah
[00:42.66] Hallelujah
[00:45.44] The meadow birds have found
[00:47.28] The bones of righteous men
[00:50.72] Like ragged clothes
[00:53.47] Like precious stones
[00:55.93] And fell like evil in the end
[00:59.05] And eight of them
[01:01.37] Those evil men those perfect men
[01:06.63] Some knuckle broken heart disease
[01:09.60]
[01:11.85] Which pulled a preacher off his knees
[01:15.35]
[01:17.29] A callous whisper through the trees
[01:20.23] Blows patience boy
[01:22.59] More patience boy
[01:25.27] More patience boy
[01:27.92] And watch her children by the flame
[01:30.56]
[01:33.10] The ones you gave your father's name
[01:36.16]
[01:38.40] Whose evil and his love remained
[01:41.49] Inside you boy
[01:43.82] Inside you boy
[01:46.49] Inside you boy
[01:48.85]
[02:52.44] The meadow birds have found
[02:54.13] The bones of righteous men
[02:57.80] Like ragged clothes
[03:00.56] Like precious stones
[03:03.40] And fell like evil in the end
[03:06.17] And eight of them
[03:08.46] Those evil men those perfect men
[03:13.60] We'll sing a song we've never heard
[03:16.38]
[03:18.91] Formed out of small forsaken words
[03:22.23]
[03:24.28] And all the while that this occurs
[03:27.38] We'll love you all
[03:29.77] We'll love you all
[03:32.52] We'll love you all
[03:34.86] And for the beauty that we've lost
[03:37.89]
[03:40.46] The measured time for love it costs
[03:43.24]
[03:45.49] Despite our feelings for the cross
[03:48.64] We love you all
[03:50.98] We love you all
[03:53.66] We love you all
