Junior Brother - King Jessup’s Nine Trials lyrics

Execution prosecution
Elevation over fire incarceration
Laceration to the face
And brow bearing a crown of wire

His eyes are made of tears
And perspiration under Middle Eastern sun
Heaven wait's for King Jessup
When His final hour comes
His final hour comes

Self-flagellation
The wasps are stinging themselves dry
Coarse gravel to knees
Jagged sand to the thigh

Uttering holy curses
Is it better to die for your parish
Than for old ordеrs from on high
With the whites of our eyеs
Maybe everything′s changed
And Satan's in the sky
And congregations burst through the
Church doors each Sunday
Safe from the flames licking the windows
And they′ll count their beads
'Til they get what they long for and need
Not knowing they're all already in Hell

With a surge of wet steel
The Earth′s curses are lifted
And Heaven revealed through the
Wound and through space
Before dying he catches God′s face
And in agony screams "Get me
Out of this place!"
But the bell has been rung
As His name loudly sung
Is bounced up and down
Through the cracked rafters
And into the bread and the cup
And the ending comes after
Ended with a tongue that could tell
Stories if it had eyes
To shock and recoil but to no one's surprise
As the dead are lifted from
The hollows of earth
Too young to remember dying
But too old to forget
Could they see the cruel shovel and knife
As the pious said "Don′t worry young one
Everything will be alright"?

The breath of a mighty storm
Blows the black habit's and
Robes back to Hell and the violence aswell
'Til all that remains is a gold carcass
Spread across the world that is dead
But is breathing for them without breath

Three nails, a cross and an ideal son
Heaven wait's for King Jessup
When His nine trials are done

Dead young lifted from a long rest
Too young to remember dying
Too old to forget earth′s floor shifted
If I don't want to die for
Cowards then neither did He neither did He

Well then neither did He, then neither did He
Then neither did He, then neither did He
Then neither did He, then neither did He
Then neither did He, then neither did He
Then neither did He, then neither did He
Then neither did He, then neither did He
Then neither did He, then neither did He
Then neither did He, then neither did He
Then neither did He, then neither did He
Than dy da da da da dye-dih da da da-um
Ah ah ah-Ah ohm
