Summer is a'coming in, arise, arise.

Give us our bread,
And bury our dead,
And kneel to the cross on the wall.
Whether burnt at the stake,
Or drunk at the wake,
Just kneel to the cross on the wall.
We've original sin,
But we might just get in,
If we beg to the cross on the wall.
It's love your neighbour,
And rattle your sabre,
But kneel to that cross on the wall.

See the roof fall.
Hear the bells crash.
As flesh and bone,
Turns to ash.
Tried to conquer the sun,
With the Christian frost.
The corpses' stench,
Beneath the cross.

And give them gold,
And they'll save your soul,
And kneel to the cross on the wall.
And hail to the boss,
Of the great unwashed,
And kneel to the cross on the wall.
They wail and weep,
The march of the sheep,
As they go to the cross on the wall.
And it's ever so wrong,
To dare to be strong,
So kneel to the cross on the wall.

See the roof fall.
Hear the bells crash.
As flesh and bone,
Turns to ash.
Tried to conquer the sun,
With the Christian frost.
The corpses' stench,
Underneath the cross.

And it's ever so wrong,
To dare, to be strong.
And it's ever so wrong,
To dare, to be strong.

But summer is a'coming and, arise, arise.

@Stormz2kill22 Expresses disbelief that Americans can be intelligent. Misspells "intelligent". My face: ¬_¬

[YouDeserveToDie666]

This is not metal.

This is something better.

[Stormz2kill22]

Just found ou these guys are amarican. Surprised me that guys so talanted & intellagent can come from there.

Anyways. I wish John Haughm wouldnt scream. Hes far too good a singer to need that, as evidence buy this song.

[metallicat67]

This song always reminds me of The Village

[gorila987k]

@DiegoKatabian If we put it all together, we get Agalloch :)

[darklord2626]

@lutcaah I had that same thought and id say this one. They took this song and put it on a whole new level. Truly brilliant.

[lutcaah]

Its an awesome cover. Hard to decide which one do I like better, this or the original.
