Hymns For The Heathen

Night has draped it’s cape of stars

Over our small town

From the campus and the tavern

To the chapel and infirmary

We’ve seen their dreams

We found the guilt, the fables, and folly

Of the residents residing in

Fourteen 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 our lord

Under the cross, this broken promised land

With dreamers and schemers and preachers and predators

They shall not want what they’ve got coming to them

Whether innocent or insolent

In fourteen 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 horse of the apocalypse

Ninth hymn: immaculate exception

Tenth hymn: the demons of Mary Magdalene

I am a chapel, this is the prayer book

These are the parables, uh huh

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 tears of disenchantment

Green grass of envy and malice

Oh, sour days

Living in Happy Hollow
