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 (In the dawning light) As she left her body Gifted second sight (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 oh Ho, oh oh, oh oh And if you listen closely You can hear them singing Ho, oh oh, oh oh Ho, oh oh, oh oh Hosanna
Make her ten miles tall (Make her ten miles tall) Make her arms cleave mountains Let her temptors fall (Let her temptors fall) Make her tears weep fountains by Now to try Write a line Erase a line
And if you listen closely You can hear them singing Ho, oh oh, oh oh Ho, oh oh, oh oh And if you listen closely You can hear them singing Ho, oh oh, oh oh Ho, oh oh, oh oh Hosanna
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 If you listen closely You can hear them singing Ho, hosanna, hosanna
If you listen closely You can hear them singing Ho, hosanna, hosanna yeah Hosanna yeah Hosanna, hosanna yeah Hosanna yeah Hosanna, hosanna yeah 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 Will be again As it ever was so it Will be again Will be again As it ever was So it will be again, again Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna yeah Hosanna yeah Hosanna yeah
