Mediaevil [The Peel Sessions]
Peter Hammill
[Verse 1]
God lives in the cathedral
Or so the archbishop states
All fealty to the Church
All power to the state!
[Verse 2]
Gold keys to the cathedral
They go with the bishop's cowl;
He lives a spiritual life of material wealth
Are things so very different now?
[Bridge]
Oh, yeah
Oh, now:
Save your prayers for the future
Say your prayers for the future
[Verse 3]
God's gone from the cathedral
A different power now holds sway
We can pack them up in the history books
But the Middle Ages won't go away
[Verse 4]
And God lives in the underground silos
Hanging on for Judgement Day;
Yeah, If we don't open our eyes pretty soon
Then the Dark Ages'll be here to stay
