La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Let's count the fucking time spent in the rain,
Patiently waiting for the devil and when the devil finally came he dried his eyes,
Apologised,
And said 'i'm lost for words at best but it gets worse,
And mercy's dead
So close your eyes and hit the ground,
Your idols are all burning and your house is falling down,
So close your eyes can you hear that sound?
I'm lost for words and don't know what to say'.
So look around,
The hands that built these walls were destined to form the fists that tore them down
And when we left the town was red, and that's when
They pulled rank and dropped us to our knees.
Then i said something like
'yeah i kill everything i fuck',
And we both know i'll be the last mistake you ever make in television mood-lit hell,
Silently dying of boredom and disappointment.
This isn't what you expected at all,
So listen up because it's as close as you will get to knowing me.
But just don't believe everything that you hear.
So watch yourself just when you think that you might know someone because i warned you i'm a liar when i drink,
Let's set aside all of the romance and the poetry,
Remember;
Don't believe everything that you hear.
Close your eyes
Hit the ground
Don't believe everything that you hear
And mercy's dead
So close your eyes and hit the ground,
Your idols are all burning and your house is falling down,
So close your eyes can you hear that sound?
I'm lost for words and don't know what to say'.
And when you left,
The devil turned his collar up and drew a cross upon his chest and walked back
Out into the rain and said 'it's as close as you will get to knowing me'.
