lyrics

Chapter 95: The Cassock

Drag me up from the depths
Of your wandering soul,
Let me light your fire,
Baby, you know!

Chain me up to the side
Of a perishing race
Of resistance,
Baby, you know!

It's a long time coming now!
It's a long time coming now!

Take the blackest flesh
As a garment to wear
For the portioning
Of spiritual wealth.

Slice it thin, father,
Thin as a Bible leaf
'Til it breaks you,
Baby, you know!

It's a long time coming now!
It's a long time coming now!

Isn't God defined
As a total control,
So if you fought and won
His power for all

It would still be a choice
That your God had made
And you'd still be
A subject enslaved?

It's a long time coming now!
It's a long time coming now!
