Third Trumpet. Fourth Trumpet Sounding 03:07
lyrics
I only heard the first and third But I saw them fall The stars and all I think I lost my brother this time The fourth will come Darken the sun But not all of it We'll have some left To get a tan and learn the name Apollyon Soon they'll come Euphrates' sons They've waited long Watched everyone As they laughed and lay in the sun And when they're done with everyone With man and wife, daughter and son Will you still not care what you've done?

Queer Logic 04:30
lyrics
This is no surprise this is no surprise everything looks pretty on the outside this is how it’s done this is how it’s won with a gay parade and a handshake then a backrub Can you understand? You can understand! This feels like common sense is dead and I hate feeling anything at all I hate feeling anything at all I know that makes me manly but it’s not my fault I am so surprised I am so surprised The invitation said, “Look on the inside!” but what does it mean? What does it mean? “It means whatever you are, that is what I want to be.” I don’t understand. I don’t understand! This feels like common sense is dead and I hate feeling anything at all I hate feeling anything at all I know that makes me funny but it’s not my fault Nothing mine is yours and nothing yours is mine “It means whatever you are, that is what I want to be.” Queer logic

The Hyacinth 05:07
lyrics
Cast all your cares from you your time will fade away like most folks do O Pilgrim! O my brother, there's nothing to work through your name's engraved and all's in place they're singing songs for you cast all your cares from you Close the door, walk away afternoon and your still at the gate O dreamer! O my brother, the flowers have all been laid the rise, the fall, it comes to all another takes your place close the door, walk away

The Majesty of the Flesh 04:53
lyrics
Oh, the majesty of the flesh The blood from the bitten lip It’s real, it feels, there is life in it Take a chance and break the glass Take a chance and break the glass Out in the woods in the heart of the night Giving names to the stars in the sky We ran in the nude Barbarian mood! What else can you do with your life? What else can you do with your life? Write on the wall “There is joy in it all!” I’ve forgotten to tell all my friends Scream in the hall, “This is life after all!” May our voices never end! Oh, the majesty of the flesh I feel it in my fingertips When I break my heart, when I hold my breath When I die a little death When I die a little death Write on the wall “There is joy in it all!” I’ve forgotten to tell all my friends Scream in the hall, “This is life after all!” May our voices never end! Write on the wall “There is joy in it all!” I’ve forgotten to tell all my friends Scream in the hall, “This is life after all!” May our voices never end! Oh, the majesty of the flesh I know it’s so complicated It’s an idol we made, a glorious mess Who can save us from this body of death? Who can save us from this body of death? Write on the wall “There is joy in it all!” I’ve forgotten to tell all my friends Scream in the hall, “This is life after all!” May our voices never end! May our voices never end! May our voices never end!

Hidden Mansions 04:20
lyrics
There are mansions somewhere Pretty houses Women wearing blouses Women in gold Gardens within gardens Falling mountains Darjeelingesque I imagine Darjeeling, I am sure But I am this way, I am this way I’ll wear the collar while I feed you cake I am this way, I am this way I’ll wear the cassock and I'll take the name The Palisades on a Sunday On the Lord’s Day It’s “Braid of Voices” I play and play There's nowhere to go Hidden mansions somewhere Hidden houses I’ve read about all the promises But what do I know? I am this way, I am this way I’ll wear the collar while I feed you cake I am this way, I am this way I’ll wear the cassock and I'll take the name
6.
Mea Culpa 04:15
lyrics
I’ll tell you my secret name I’ll show you the pearls that I’ve kept safe Share with you the mysteries we keep The Bread of Life, we break and eat And if I do this, I’ll have done everything Then your face will shine bright as the morning And that will be the end of all things All my life I’ve waited to do one thing Days and days finding the words to speak And when it’s said, then comes the ending The trumpet sounds, the joy, the glory And if I do this, I’ll have done everything Then my face will shine bright as the morning And that will be the end of all things
7.
Lake of Fire 05:00
lyrics
Smile for the camera, smile if you can Give us a smile then again and again In Middle East there is blood on the sand The evening news showed the Arab’s dead hands All God’s children go to Heaven Come see the crowds, a parade in the street Hear all the sounds, all the sights, the living There was a man that they hung from a tree They watched in the dark as he swung in the breeze Swing low, sweet chariot Sing something lovely, sing something we’ve heard Tell us how we shall inherit the Earth Fire came from heaven, devoured them all Stretched out before us, a great lake of fire Swing low, sweet chariot Smile for the camera, smile if you can

The Wedding Feast of the Lamb: First Movement 05:34
lyrics
I sleep soundly with my wife My children never fight And I wake happy, wash my body Being careful to make sure I'm sex-free With smiles that linger, rings on fingers Feel the power of a perfect figure Then off to work to earn the dollars I give to those in need of liquor To help them numb themselves I sing softly to myself The very words others yell I tried to get angry, I raised my voice daily But nothing could move me to raise banners and scream So I'll try harder, give blood, give water Give skin to those burning with desire And play with children, sing with the choir And offer my prayers to the little flower To save us from the fire I'll die smiling, turn toward heaven Sing some old songs and claim my crown Then I'll go to find someone I've been waiting To talk with since I read The Habit of Being She'll tell me her story of sorrow and suffering She'll tell me it's so sad the way we've been acting For we are surrounded by thousands of liars That sing lovely songs in a river of fire That flows from the hand of the Father

It's Too Late and the Moment Is Gone 04:20
lyrics
What can I say that’s persuasive? Before it’s too late and the moment is gone Should I write it in cursive? Write it in ink down the length of your arm Oh, one day, I’ll be romantic One day you won’t feel so alone Heaven knows it’s what I wanted Something that somebody had when they were young We never laughed like those posters Clapping our hands, God, clapping our hands They were wrong, it’s no wonder that I’ve spent my whole life looking over your shoulder But, one day, I’ll be dramatic Before it’s too late and the moment is gone I’ll turn around and I will say it Something that somebody said when they were Too young
