Cardiacs - The Alphabet Business Concern (Home of Fadeless Splendour) lyrics

(here be dragons) Hail majestic corporate light Heaven born and ever bright How our spirit like the waves As the breath of thine awakes And now the night of weeping shall be The morn of song Ah! We are those whose thunder shakes the skies The thin spun life Home of fadeless splendour Of flowers that bear no thorn Here may the blind and hungry come And light and food receive Here mighty springs of consolation rise To cheer the fainting mind And re-creation find So overcome thy fear And burst into sudden blaze Come blind fury with abhorred shears And slit the thin spun life Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail Thy justice fear Walk in shadow, walk in dread Loosefish walk as like one dead One drop in a winter sea No more to rise forever Anything down there about your souls Will smash the sun alight Ah! Yield week in, weak out from morn to night Feelers from across the sea Come crawling over thee One drop in a winter sea No more to rise forever One drop in a winter sea No more to rise forever Come blind fury with abhorred shears And slit the thin spun life Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail The thin spun life We are those whose thunder shakes the skies Whose eyes this atom globe surveys Thy justice fear Hooray!
