| [00:17.589] |
I began to warm and chill |
| [00:21.809] |
To objects and their fields |
| [00:25.409] |
A ragged cup a twisted mop |
| [00:29.448] |
The face of Jesus in my soup |
| [00:33.458] |
Those sinister dinner meals |
| [00:37.997] |
The meal trolley's wicked wheels |
| [00:41.987] |
A hooked bone rising from my food |
| [00:45.847] |
All things either good or ungood |
| [00:49.437] |
And the mercy seat is waiting |
| [00:53.326] |
And I think my head is burning |
| [00:57.55] |
And in a way I'm yearning |
| [00:59.284] |
To be done with all this measuring of truth |
| [01:05.132] |
An eye for an eye |
| [01:06.681] |
A tooth for a tooth |
| [01:08.750] |
And anyway I told the truth |
| [01:13.429] |
And I'm not afraid to die |
| [01:32.691] |
Interpret signs and catalogue |
| [01:36.971] |
A blackened tooth a scarlet fog |
| [01:40.701] |
The walls are bad black bottom kind |
| [01:44.670] |
They are sick breath at my hind |
| [01:48.588] |
I hear stories from the chamber |
| [01:52.36] |
How Christ was born into a manger |
| [01:55.816] |
And like some ragged stranger |
| [01:58.705] |
Died upon the cross |
| [02:01.615] |
And might I say it seems so fitting in its way |
| [02:06.973] |
He was a carpenter by trade |
| [02:11.782] |
Or at least that's what I'm told |
| [02:22.871] |
Like my good hand I tatooed EVIL across |
| [02:27.560] |
It's brother's fist |
| [02:30.660] |
That filthy five |
| [02:32.390] |
They did nothing to challenge or resist |
| [02:38.440] |
In Heaven His throne is made of gold |
| [02:41.999] |
The ark of his Testament is stowed |
| [02:45.749] |
A throne from which I'm told |
| [02:48.457] |
All history does unfold |
| [02:51.327] |
Down here it's made of wood and wire |
| [02:55.334] |
And my body is on fire |
| [03:01.423] |
And God is never far away |
| [03:05.240] |
My kill-hand is called EVIL |
| [03:09.150] |
Wears a wedding band that's GOOD |
| [03:12.740] |
This a long suffering shackle |
| [03:16.970] |
Collaring all that rebel blood |
| [03:20.490] |
And the mercy seat is burning |
| [03:24.28] |
And I think my head is glowing |
| [03:27.958] |
And in a way I'm hoping |
| [03:30.176] |
To be done with all this weighing up of truth |
| [03:35.846] |
An eye for an eye |
| [03:37.675] |
And a tooth for a tooth |
| [03:39.595] |
And I've got nothing left to lose |
| [03:43.244] |
And I'm not afraid to die |
| [03:46.664] |
And the mercy seat is burning |
| [03:50.223] |
And I think my head is glowing |
| [03:53.992] |
And in a way I'm hoping |
| [03:56.671] |
To be done with all this twisted of the truth |
| [04:01.691] |
An eye for an eye |
| [04:03.390] |
And a tooth for a tooth |
| [04:05.419] |
And I've got nothing left to lose |
| [04:08.879] |
And I'm not afraid to die |
| [04:12.298] |
And the mercy seat is smoking |
| [04:15.998] |
And I think my head is boiling |
| [04:19.788] |
And in a way I'm spoiling |
| [04:21.676] |
All the fun with all this truth and consequence |
| [04:27.495] |
An eye for an eye |
| [04:29.325] |
And a truth for a truth |
| [04:31.755] |
And anyway I told the truth |
| [04:35.704] |
But I'm afraid I told a lie |
