Joan in the garden

Letra

In a book I found
Joan in the garden
I will write this down
I will lay her heart in mine
For a time
Write a line
Erase a line

In the dawning light
As she left her body
Gifted second sight
Did she lay her dowry by
Lay it by
Write a line
Erase a line

And if you listen closely
You can hear them singing ho, oh, oh, oh
And if you listen closely
You can hear them singing ho, oh, oh, oh
Hosanna

Make her ten miles tall
Make her arms cleave mountains
Let her temptors fall
Make her tears weep fountains by
Now to try:
Write a line
Erase a line

Just another tinsel ornament
Another troubled sky
We are folded in the firmament
Catch us as we fly

I don't remember what I ought to be
I only know what's right
I'm suspended from the orrery
Bursting into light

And If you listen closely
You can hear them singing:
Hosanna, hosanna

And if you listen closely
You can hear them singing:
Hosanna, hosanna yeah!

Over stone and grapevine
Over the souls on the breadline
There's a reckoning at hand
Our hand

See them flayed at the flagpole
Catch it all on your console
We have come at your command
We stand
We stand

Blessed babe on display
Break her skull on the parquet
Wayward mariner awake!
We pray

She is daughter and son
The imperium undone
All the autocrats are laid
To waste
To waste

Oh holy whore androgyne
Come and sunder the stop signs
Break it all so we can build again

Bring on duke or dauphin
Blood will flow like a fountain
As it ever was so it will be again
As it ever was so it will be again
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna yeah!
