The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 rattle your sabre and love your neighbours
But kneel to that cross on the wall
See the roof fall, hear the bells crash
As flesh and bone turn to ash
Tried to conquer the sun with a christian frost
The corpses' stench beneath the cross
Give them gold and they'll save your soul
And kneel to the cross on the wall
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
But summer is a'coming, and arise, arise
But summer is a'coming, and arise, arise
