The Gathering

歌詞

The first time that the beat drops in the bar, it's gonna be biblical The second that the sing-along starts, it'll be sensational So sound the alarms and the sirens, the bells in the churches Bring your parents and your kids into the street, throw open the hatches I've been missing the feeling when we close up the gaps between us It's better than the best, benediction, more bracing than blood-lust 'Cause we've been waiting and wandering, practicing and praying Saving and slavering, gathering ourselves for the gathering We've been huddled in our houses for however many days like survivors And we've been dutifully paying our dues and paying heed to our advisors Yeah, but we're pent-up and we're pissed off and we're perilously close to the precipice We're butterflies in ballet shoes and Brothel Creepers coming out of our chrysalis It comes down to this: I'm missing the feeling when we close up the gaps between us It's better than the best, benediction, more bracing than blood-lust 'Cause we've been waiting and wandering, practicing and praying Saving and slavering, gathering ourselves for the gathering All together now This is our mantra: we gather together We look out for each other, because we've got strength in our numbers This is our mantra: we gather together We look out for each other, 'cause we've got strength in our numbers And I'll be the preacher and this is the scripture: Once more with feeling, this is a gathering This is a gathering Gather together Gather together Gather together This is a gathering Gather together Gather together Gather together This is a gathering
