Oh I have felt 
Cobain's sarcoma 
Growing on 
This will of mine 
To drag me down 
Into the water 
The joy I feel 
Before I drown 

And the Lord's hand moves on the scheme of my nerves 
In the chemicals swimming and the substance of the earth 
His love so great but the soul singers spurn him 
To sing their love to some unknown reckless girl 

They sing to great 
Queen Heroina 
The comfort that 
She warms them with 
Their music swells 
With all their yearning 
They are ashamed 
To sing for him 

Who has built these shells that our spirits knock inside
And weep for their release in the onrush of the tide 
Of the lord's great seas that will boil when he returns 
To pluck us off the face of this sad and dirty world 

I saw Sam Cooke 
And Ian Curtis 
At the door 
Of his golden realm 
They sang his name 
Sweet Lord in heaven 
And then the lord 
He let them in
