lyrics

THE GREAT ABSOLUTION

Fireworks de luxe shoot now high in the sky
The great absolution has arrived
Eyes are still looking for the biggest bowl
While legs already gallop away

All becomes holier than ever
‘Cause all becomes cheaper than ever
The great absolution has arrived

Who is not with us, will be under us
Who’s given hands, it’s time for You to grab

For 30 silver pieces the fame here is sold
Truth is rented and felicity subscribed
The beauty of You comes now almost for free
Anyone in their way, will be erased

You look holier than ever
‘Cause You give Yourself cheaper than ever
The great absolution has arrived

My sister, why don’t we stay together from now on
My sweet heart, You give me the biggest income of all

Through sunny courtyards
People floating like a dark cloud
Masses of sacred
Marching to their promised land

The streets are crowded with people in their Sunday best
Holding inflated gum gods high in their hands
One’s pale and lifeless, the other’s blood-red
So much out of breath as if he’s to explode

You whisper softer than ever
But it scares me more than ever
The great absolution has arrived

See the cross so shining in our high outstretched hands
Isn’t it just a trademark of a department store
