lyrics
the wise the simple the neglected they are sleeping sleeping on the hill the sky watcher the animal lover the stillborn they are sleeping sleeping on the hill labor in the sunlight rest by the firelight love all your neighbors as you would your own son o lord bless our town jesus will you save us the river washes away all of our sins the syphilitic the temperate the office handler they are rising rising from the hill the rejected the adulteress the dream hunter they are rising rising from the hill are these the prophecies is there a precedent first the houses were humming now there are disappearances o lord bless our town jesus will you save us the chapel is burning to the ground (and there are still people inside) the lovers of life the haters of the uncanny the followers of christ they’ve been taken taken to the hill
