Lyrics:

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!
