Lyrics In The Bleak Midwinter - Luke Haines, Winchester Cathedral Choir, Густав Холст

In The Bleak Midwinter

(In the bleak midwinter/Frosty wind made moan/Earth stood
hard as iron/Water like a stone./Snow
had fallen snow on snow/Snow on snow/In the bleak
midwinter/Long, long ago./Our god, heaven
cannot hold him/Nor earth sustain/Heaven and earth shall
flee away/When He comes to reign:/In the
bleak mid-winter/A stable place sufficed/The Lord God
Almighty/Jesus Christ./May have gathered
there Cherubim/Watch him night and day/…/In the bleak
midwinter/Frosty wind made moan/Earth
stood hard as iron/Water like a stone.)
Formaldehyde, colourless, poison in essence
Welcome to the Mardi-Gras experience
If you piss on the altar, you’re paying homage to the
church
Art will save the world
In the bleak midwinter fairylights lure you on
Children of God, bound by love to live without sin
God is dead;
I’m the king of the world
Cue lights and camera action
Fade to black and dissolve
Children of God, bound with love to live without sin
Art will save the world
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan
Earth stood still as I am
Water like the stone…
