Cursive - Hymns For The Heathen lyrics

[Cursive - Hymns For The Heathen lyrics]

Night has draped it's cape of stars
Over our small town
From the campus to the tavern
To the chapel and infirmary
We've seen their dreams
We've found the guilt the fables, and folly
Of residents residing in

14 hymns for the heathen
First hymn, the son of God complex
Second hymn, the prodigal damsel
Third hymn, the tree stump of knowledge
Choking on Adam's apple
This odd lot under the cross
This broken promised land
Of dreamers and schemers
And preachers and predators
They shall not want
What they've got coming to them
Whether innocent or insolent



14 hymns for the heathen
Fourth hymn, the passion of the Chaplain
Fifth hymn, the brute kiss of Judas
Sixth hymn, Sodom falls to ashes
Seventh hymn, the church of doubting Thomas
Eighth hymn, the Horses of the Apocalypse
Ninth hymn, immaculate exception
Tenth hymn, the demons of Mary Magdalene

I am a chapel, this the prayer book
These are the parables
God forgive us, this is our business
Absolving sins of all these heathens

Eleventh hymn, the Bible Belt tightens
Twelfth hymn, a lecherous Shepard
Thirteenth hymn, hiding in confession
Fourteenth hymn, an afterword

Rocking chairs of disenchantment
Green grass of envy and malice
Our salad days, living in Happy Hollow
