Gethsemane - The Indelicates

There are Romans at the gate

With their crosses and their whips

There’s a wound in my side

That aches to my fingertips

And the night is drawing in

The wind is in the east

Listen up all you disciples

Nobody leaves

This is the time of prophecy

This is our Gethsemane

And all y’all swore to follow me

So nobody leaves

No, nobody leaves

Stay with me

David be the death of me

Pleasant (?) future, cease to be

Lord help me (?), this wasn’t?

Oh, David be the death of me

And they say he grew more human

As he neared upon his death

Death is looking close

But I feel God in every breath

It is the second greatest story

I don’t care if I return

We don’t need no water

Let the motherfucker burn

This is the time of prophesy

This is our Gethsemane

And all y’all swore to follow me

So let it burn

Let it burn

Let it burn

We need the victory

We need the press

We need it for the ATF

We need the victory

We need the press

We need it for the ATF

This thing will not stand

This thing will not stand

This thing will not stand

Oh, no

This thing will not stand

This thing will not stand

This thing will not stand

Oh, no

David be the death of me

Pleasant (?) future, cease to be

Lord help me (?), this wasn’t?

Oh, David be the death of me

David be the death of me

Pleasant (?) future, cease to be

Lord help me (?), this wasn’t?

Oh, David be the death of me

Remember the Alamo

Defend the Alamo

Remember the brave who died

For an idea

Remember the Alamo

Defend the Alamo

Remember the Alamo

I’m a rockstar

If they had only tried to understand

A blaze of light, a falling curtain

They’dve seen the Godhead in a man

If you could see the world through my eyes

Then you would see the world anew

See that your answer, that you’re dying

You’d see nothing of the truth

Oh, there are Romans at the gate

With their crosses and their whips

There’s a wound in my side

That aches to my fingertips

This is the time of prophecy

This is my Gethsemane

The whole wide world

Is following

The whole wide world

The whole wide world

The whole wide world

The whole wide world
