.​.​.​Said the Preacher Man

from Circuit Crooks by Twenty Centuries of Stony Sleep

/

lyrics

Slap him push him around a little, No one will see
And I won’t say a thing, your secret’s safe with me
Let the birds sing, if not for free
Holocaust testament swallowed at sea

With grey tales of a bride to be
Trail the witness, What has he seen?
He knows my true eyes, he’ll capture me
…said the preacher man, Trust and See

Hymns that wash and unite a starved generation
And lull them to kneel before the guillotine
With languid smiles and dripping eyes
Acknowledge the blade as I invite it down

With grey tales of a bride to be
Trail the witness, What has he seen?
He knows my true eyes, he’ll capture me
…said the preacher man, Blindly Follow Me

With grey tales of a bride to be
Trail the witness, Take out his knees
He knows my true eyes, he’ll capture me
…said the preacher man, You’ll Burn You’ll See
