St. Michael
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.
We walk towards you St.
Michael.
Against the swarm. Against the dragons.
We walk towards you St.
Michael.
May the light of heaven
guide our way.
Against the swarm. Against the dragons.
May the light of heaven
guide our way.
Will I be your beauty bride,
Your shining light, Your
deepest pride.
Or will I only be your best man?
Built is my cunning tales.
Your mother scorns your dirty nails.
Will our babies eyes have your or my eyes.
Holy ghost and baptized.
Taste your lips and your
thighs.
If Jesus was a girl, you
think I'd still be your man?
If mermaids didn't have no tails.
You'd be drown in ocean swells.
Glittering your golden
scales, I'd still be your man.
Will you make this sacrifice?
Hold my hand into the
night.
Even if it's the end of time, the time is our time.
Will I be your beauty bride?
Your shining light. Your
deepest pride.
Or will I only be your best man?
Will I be your beauty bride,
Your shining light. Your
deepest pride.
Or will I only be your best man?
We walk towards you St.
Michael.
Against the swarm. Against the dragons.
We walk towards you St.
Michael.
May the light of heaven
guide our way.
Against the swarm. Against the dragons.
We walk towards you St.
Michael.
May the light of heaven
guide our way.
Against the swarm. Against the dragons.
We walk towards you St.
Michael.
May the light of heaven
guide our way.
Against the swarm. Against the dragons.
May the light of heaven
guide our way.
