From old Rome they come a-riding On a song with armor shining Christian sons with hearts of anger Bring the book, the cross, the chancre Hallelujah, hallelujah, kiss the cross or they will burn you Hallelujah, hallelujah, they have come to rape and murder Tell them we've had it all They've had their day now they shall fall Tell them of the turning tide They can run but they can't hide Across a sea of tears and blood Across a scape of murdered babies They will cleanse and purify For their Christ and for their Lady They will take the joy of love and name it as a badge of shame They will steal and they will plunder They will tell you you're to blame Tell them we've had it all They've had their day now they shall fall Tell them of the turning tide They can run but they can't hide On the wheel and on the gibbet Broken bodies, broken dreams In the churches, the sheep, the traitors Now they are both pure and clean Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Tell them we've had it all They've had their day now they shall fall Tell them of the turning tide They can run but they can't hide Tell them we've had it all They've had their day now they shall fall Tell them of the turning tide They can run but they can't hide Tell them we've had it all They've had their day now they shall fall Tell them of the turning tide They can run but they can't hide As the church turns to dust, This oppression this I must The only joy and desire In the heart's pagan fire
