Crucified Again - Arcade Fire

On the twelfth of January

You don’t need what you can’t carry

The blood will flow into the ocean

The voices breaking with the motion

Crucified

Then crucified again

Crucified

Then crucified again

In the night, they started singin'

They had no right to keep believin'

But down bellow, there’s someone screamin'

A broken church, no bells a-ringin'

They crucified

Then crucified again

They crucified

Then crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again

The preachers talk on television

Hand out the judgments of their religion

But when I heard those women singin'

They made a sound I couldn’t believe in

Crucified

Then crucified again

He who strikes the blow forgets it

But he who bears the scar remembers

The fire is burnin' down to embers

The fire is burnin', but I can’t remember

Crucified

Then crucified again

Crucified

Then crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again, and again, and again

All you great and mighty nations

Who think you’ve payed for your high stations

The cities may be built in the sand

But ours were built by their fathers' hands

They crucified

Then crucified again

They crucified

Then crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again

Crucified again, and again, and again

Till the crowd cries

Do it again

Crucified again

Crucified again
