Lyrics for Faithful Departed by Seven Nations:
| | | Artist: | Seven Nations |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Faithful Departed | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 79 | | | | Lyrics: | This graveyard hides a million secrets
And the trees know more than they can tell
The ghosts
of the saints and the scholars will haunt you
In heaven and in hell
Rattled by the
glimmer man, the boogie man, the holy man
And livin' in the shadows, in the shadows of a
gunman
Rattled like the coppers in your greasy till
Rattled until time stood
still
Look over your shoulder, hear the school bell ring
Another day of made-to-measure
history
I don't care if your heroes have wings
Your terrible beauty's been
torn
Faithful departed, we fickle hearted
As you are now so once were we
Faithful
departed, we the meek hearted
With graces imparted bring flowers to thee
The girls in
the kips proclaim their love for you
When you stumbled in they knew you had a shilling or
two
They cursed you on Sundays and holy days
When you all stayed away
When you
slept there a naked lightbulb hid your shame
The shadows on the wall, they took all the
blame.
The Sacred Heart's picture, compassion in his eyes
Drowned out the river of
sighs
Let the grass grow green over the brewery tonight
It'll never come between the
darkness and the light
There is no pain that can't be eased
By the devil's holy water and
the rosary beads
Faithful departed, we fickle hearted
As you are now so once were
we
Faithful departed, we the meek hearted
With graces imparted bring flowers to
thee
You're a history book I never could write
Poetry in paralysis, too deep to
recite
Dress yourself and bless yourself, you've won the fight
We're gonna celebrate
tonight
Maybe we'll even climb the pillar like you always meant to
Watch the sun rise
