Well, who's that a-writing? John The Revelator
Who's that a-writing? John The Revelator

A book of the seven seals.
Tell me what's John a-writing? Ask The Revelator
What's John a-writing? Ask The Revelator
What's John a-writing? Ask The Revelator
A book of the seven seals.
Father, who art worthy, (undecipherable) and holy
Bound up for some, Son of our God
Daughter of Zion, Judas the Lion
He redeemed us, and He bought us with his blood.
CHORUS
John the Revelator, great advocator
Gets'em on the battle of Zion
Lord, tellin' the story, risin' in glory
Cried: Lord, (undecipherable)
CHORUS
Well Moses to Moses, Watching the flock
Saw the bush where they had to stop
God told Moses, pull off your shoes
Out of the flock, a-well a-you I choose
CHORUS
Father, who art worthy, (undecipherable) and holy
Bound up for some, Son of our God
Daughter of Zion, Judas the Lion
He redeemed us, and he bought us with his blood.
CHORUS
