Lyrics
The Altar
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.
The stained glass lights the way
On their kness the congregation prays
Collection plate is passed your way
Jesus looks down from sky
A tear fills his eyes
In the fires of hell you're all gonna pay
In the rectory basement of sin
A meeting read to begin
Something in the eyes says
Holy father, you're telling me lies
Searching - mother mary finds the tunnel of love
Touching - in the name of the lord above
[chorus:]
Step up - up to the altar
Kneel down - down on your knees and pray
Step up - up to the altar
A priest - is playing his organ again
Sacrificial bishop cracks the sky
Upon the altar a virgin lies
No hail mary gonna save you now
Looking - for choir girls and boys
Hoping - he just want a brand new toy
[chorus]
[solo]
[chorus]
