some of them they gathered on the mountain
some of them they settled on the plain
some of them were walking through the darkness
some of them were travelling by train
some of them they came to meet their maker
some of them they came to be revived
some of them can't leave it any later
they came to see the singer come back to life
some of them they came to find their fortune
some of them they came to pay their dues
some of them came praising hallelujah
some of them they came to sing the blues
some of them lay bleeding on the altar
in the shadow of a sacrificial knife
thirsty like a horse in search of water
they came to see the singer come back to life
some of them were heavenly apppointed
some of them demonically deployed
some of them were deeply disappointed
some were beside themselves with joy
some of them they offered up their daughters
some of them they offered up their wives
led here like cattle to the slaughter
they came to see the singer come back to life
