about

This arrangement (done by Frank) offers a more triumphant reading of the lyrics.

lyrics

Zealous in advice
Avarice of love
Watching Bishops fall
Like rosewood gloves
Praying to dead leaves
And strangled love

Fleecing clover flocks
Praying tender in the fields
Tilling earthly offices
Feeding earthly needs
They're hanging holy thieves
Beneath the marble eaves

Pass along the Kingdom's keys
Send them down to hell
On their broken knees
The Lord will know his own

With these words
We honor the souls
Who paid such a fearful price
For mystery
Grace and praise
Played out beneath the murder sheaves

Grim Cistercians plot
Halos capping bloody heads
What God does it serve
to burn old women in their beds?
Was it fear or or was it love
That grew the kingdom of the dead?

Pass along the Kingdom's keys
Send them down to hell
On their broken knees
The Lord will know his own

Broken Friends of God
Beloved of the Lord
The Perfect writhe on racks
Consumed in holy flame
Driven by devotion
To praise His Holy Name

Pass along the Kingdom's keys
Send them down to hell
On their broken knees
The Lord will know his own
