Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
Then love itself was gone
I heard there was a sacred chord
There’s no-one left to torture
We don’t like babies, anyhow.
But does it have to come so cruel, so very bright?
It pleased the Lord
A sacred chord
We’ve seen the Nations rise and fall
We’re just the little Jews who wrote the Bible
Jesus was a sailor
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom
Only drowning men could see him
That’s no way to say,goodbye
I have tried in my way to be free.
I swear by this song and by all I’ve done wrong
Dance me to the end of love
Climb on your tears and be silent
Oh, broken love.
Gentle this soul
The sun give over to splendour
Bless the continuous stutter
Of the Word being made into flesh
