Lyrics:
Hymn Choir

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored He hath loosed the fateful

cuffs and collars were mended by haloes of golden thread. The choir sang, "Once Upon A TIme There Was An Ocean." And all the old hymns and family names

' But some kind boy said, "Frohliche Weihnachten" Not understanding the words but gettin' the buyin' and sellin' I felt the Christmas spirit In Bethlehem I heard a hymn, some distant choir

band play for the families Through the streets, beautiful symphonies Let's walk through the park while the trees are still there And the midnight choir, they sing They sing a hymn

and mine Life is the rain from on high Life is the sun in the sky Time picked the words Time picked the songs We were the choir But we sang them wrong

The demons swallowed treasures, replaced hymns with evil deeds scribed in chicken scratch compositions in the black halls beneath this filthy city. Laced

in a tree hollow Oh Emily, you?re a brave girl With your husband gone to the other world Sing a hymn while I light the fire We?ll be joined by a heavenly choir

all the birds had fled, That mighty Gitchimanitou (sp?) sent angel choirs instead. Before their light the stars grew dim, And wandering hunters heard the hymn

Droning winds sang my name in choirs so silent and grievous Imploring me to awaken, to enlighten my moonlit eyes Famished, grinning in pain, branded stiff
