Psalm for the Risen Dead Lyrics by DEEP FEMME

Hellgirl’s Hymnal

0

We faded away one day
After a long process of decay
Nothing left to say
Just headstones with old names
Thought for sure we wouldn't make it
In my dreams my heart stopped dead
Woke up on fire screaming Jesus
Can't escape what I was back then
Don't look back keep your eyes on the black
Strain to see light hope you're doing it right
On that last day we'll tear down the cemetery gates
Rise singing from the grave everything's gonna be remade
No sinners and no saints everyone's gonna get saved
On that last day, on that last day
Let this old town slough off its skin
Let something fresh and green begin
Everything forgiven all made new
Under hope's arch I'll wait for you
No dry bones only full spirits and souls
Strain to see light pray you're doing it right
On that last day we'll tear down the cemetery gates
Rise singing from the grave everything's gonna be remade
No sinners and no saints everyone's gonna get saved
On that last day, on that last day
It went wrong before it began
But you smashed that bottle and I held your hand
Sorry I wasn't a better friend
That I was just a buzzard in human skin
There's a lot that I would forget
But I still remember those cafeteria steps
Playing with you into the night
Got most of it wrong but that was alright
I know just why I can't be there
But God dammit I'd fly to you from anywhere
I know just why I can't be there
But God dammit God dammit
Day's new light let the scales fall from our eyes
We're all perfect grace doused in blood or dressed in lace
On that last day we'll tear down the cemetery gates
Rise singing from the grave everything's gonna be remade
No sinners and no saints everyone's gonna get saved
On that last day, on that last day
