jim & jean - crucifixion lyrics

[verse 1: jim & jean glover]
and the night comes again to the circle+studded sky
the stars settle slowly, in loneliness they lie
’til the universe explodes as a falling star is raised
planets are paralyzed, the mountains are amazed
but they all glow brighter from the brilliance of the blaze
with the speed of insanity, then he dies

[verse 2: jim & jean glover]
in the green fields a+turning, a baby is born
his cries crease the wind and mingle with the morn
an assault upon thе order, the changing of the guard
chosеn for a challenge that is hopelessly hard
and the only single sign is the sighing of the stars
but to the silence of distance they are sworn

[chorus: jim & jean glover]
so dance, dance, dance
teach us to be true
come dance, dance, dance
’cause we love you

[verse 3: jim & jean glover]
images of innocence charge him to go on
but the decadence of destiny is looking for a p+wn
to a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate
a blinding revelation is served upon his plate
that beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate
and god help the critic of the dawn
[verse 4: jim & jean glover]
so he stands on the sea and he shouts to the shore
but the louder that he screams, the longer he’s ignored
for the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs
and the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged
’til the giant is aware that someone’s pulling at his leg
and someone is tapping at the door

[chorus: jim & jean glover]
so dance, dance, dance
teach us to be true
come dance, dance, dance
’cause we love you

[verse 5: jim & jean glover]
then his message gathers meaning, and it spreads across the land
the rewarding of the fame is the following of the man
but ignorance is everywhere and people have their way
success is an enemy to the losers of the day
in the shadows of the churches, who knows what they pray?
and blood is the language of the band

[verse 6: jim & jean glover]
the spanish bulls are beaten, the crowd is soon beguiled
the matador is beautiful, a symphony of style
excitement is ecstatic, passion places bets
gracefully he bows to ovations that he gets
but the hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat
and saliva is falling from their smiles
[chorus: jim & jean glover]
so dance, dance, dance
teach us to be true
come dance, dance, dance
’cause we love you

[verse 7: jim & jean glover, jean glover]
then this overflow of life is crushed into a liar
the gentle soul is ripped apart and tossed into a fire
with the death of beauty, the victory of night
truth becomes a tragedy limping from the light
the heavens are horrified, they stagger from the sight
and the cross is trembling with desire

[verse 8: jim & jean glover]
they say they can’t believe it, it’s a sacrilegious shame
now who would want to hurt such a hero of the game?
but you know, i predicted it, i knew he had to fall
how did it happen? i hope his suffering was small
tell me every detail, i’ve got to know it all
and do you have a picture of the pain?

[chorus: jim & jean glover]
so dance, dance, dance
teach us to be true
come dance, dance, dance
’cause we love you
[verse 9: jim & jean glover]
time takes her toll and the memory fades
but his glory is growing in the magic that he made
reality is ruined, there’s nothing more to fear
the drama is distorted to what they want to hear
swimming in their sorrow in the twisting of a tear
as they wait for the new thrill parade

[verse 10: jim & jean glover]
the eyes of the rebel have been branded by the blind
to the safety of sterility the threat has been refined
the child was created, to the slaughterhouse he’s led
so good to be alive when the eulogies are read
the climax of emotion, the worship of the dead
as the cycle of sacrifice unwinds

[chorus: jim & jean glover]
so dance, dance, dance
teach us to be true
come dance, dance, dance
’cause we love you
