Some people say that scripture will save, but I never took solace in verse Or in digital pictures of gold tabernacles enshrining humanity’s curse
Feudal lords, under different names, continue to wail broken psalms
But James the Just left a message for us, and it fills me with comfort and calm
He said we must have faith that the wealthy will wither, malnourished by fear and excess
That the sun will set on the merchants of death , and the meek shall inherit what’s left
But faith without works is dead in the crib, so all ye now roll up your sleeves
‘Cause the sweat of the covenant’s thicker than blood
If we all help each other believe
So show your faith - claim a seat at the right of your lord
Show your hope - claim the bounty of your vision board
Show your love - plant a rose at the feet of your dead
But do your work - and we’ll cut off the great serpent’s head
So show your faith - claim a seat at the right of your lord
Show your hope - claim the bounty of your vision board
Show your love - plant a rose at the feet of your dead
But do your work - and we’ll cut off the dictator’s head
