Arcade Fire
Crucified Again (album version)
On the twelfth of January
You don't need what you can't carry
The blood will flow into the ocean
The voices breaking with the motion
[Hook]
Crucified, been crucified again
Crucified, been crucified again
In the night, they started singin'
They had no right to keep believin'
But down bellow, there's someone screamin'
A broken church, no bells a ringin'
[Hook]
They crucified, been crucified again
They crucified, been crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again
The preachers talk on television
Hand out the judgments of their religion
But when I heard those women singin'
They made a sound I couldn't believe in
[Hook]
Crucified, been crucified again
He who strikes the blow forgets it
But he who bears the scar remembers
The fire is burnin' down to embers
The fire is burnin', but I can't remember
[Hook]
Crucified, been crucified again
Crucified, been crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again, and again, and again
All you great and mighty nations
Who think you've payed for your high stations
The cities may be built in the sand
But ours were built by their fathers' hands
[Hook]
They crucified, been crucified again
They crucified, been crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again, and again, and again
Till the crowd cries: "Do it again"!
Crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again, and again, and again
Till the crowd cries: "Do it again"!
Crucified again...
