Peter Hammill This Is the Fall lyrics
All humans are siblings,
this is a truth that I've assumed;
all fighting over the legacy
of a lifelong and timeless family feud
in the name of I don't know what.
I don't believe in God
but if I did I'd surely say
there is only one Power up above us,
one face refracted in each different Faith.
But for every holy confessor
there's a priest of self-worth
trading in the eternal
for power on earth.
Soaked, the blood of believers
in the ground where prophets trod.
How in God's name
did religion get so far away from God?
Oh, mercy, mercy, mercy now!
Oh, mercy, mercy, mercy!
I don't believe in God
but, with all respect to those who do,
surely no purpose could be served under heaven
if there's no mercy in this place we're passing through?
Oh, now for every sainted ascetic
drawing heavenly breath
there's a literal fanatic
in love with death.
Soaked, the blood in the pages
pored with all-too-human pride...
in what book of what religion
is the blood-lust sanctified?
In the name of creation,
for whatever that is worth,
why in God's name
is religion
bound so mortally to earth?
Soaked, the blood
of believers
in the ground where prophets trod.
How in God's name
did religion
fall so far away from God?
This is the Fall from God.
