Текст песни: Billy Green Is Alive! + перевод

The king is dead, all hail the king

The Holy ghost, the light within

Angels and demons in the wings

The truth is whispered in the wind

The night is young, my cup is full

The candle lit

I dropped the jewel

I did the math, at Sunday school

The clown in class, some played the fool

Who fanned the flame?

Who sprayed the fuel?

Who gave him the rapier that made him duel

The martyr died

For all of y’all

Came back to life, answered the call

I’m gonna' be the next in line…

I’m ready for my bread and wine…

I’ve bled, I’ve sweat, I’ve cried

For eternal life

(Billy Green is alive!)

Bag of flesh

Reproduce

Read the news, what’s the use?

Steady on the stool when I knot the noose

In the reaper’s shoes

(Checkmate)

Your bishop ain’t got the juice

(Lay off)

You should have a spot on Jools

I’m dropping jewels

Who am I?

Can I place a value on human life?

Just another bust nut from a fuck up

Better hush up

Body washed up

On the side of the sewer side

He left a note, suicide

And I quote, «This one’s for you

Goodbye.»

No stars in the polluted sky

Picture in the black mirror blew your mind

No more drinks to pour, zoots to light

But him in a box in a suit and tie

It was all based on a stupid lie

The illusion of freedom

But who decides?

Changing of the guards

A new bloodline

A day to remember in future times

Olive branch extended

Received in kind

Some kind of psychic who reads your mind

So believe in the word

You can see the signs

Saviour of the world

Billy Green’s alive!

I’m gonna' be the next in line…

I’m ready for my bread and wine…

I’ve bled, I’ve sweat, I’ve cried

For eternal life

(Billy Green is alive!)

I’m gonna' be the next in line…

I’m ready for my bread and wine…

I’ve bled, I’ve sweat, I’ve cried

For eternal life

(Billy Green is alive!)

Pray with me by candlelight

Bow your head and close your eyes

Hands together unified

If you believe he’s still alive

If you believe he’s still alive

Billy Green is still alive!

Pray with me by candlelight

Bow your head and close your eyes

Chant these words with me tonight

As we receive eternal life

Do you believe he’s still alive?

Billy Green is still alive!

Can a kid get a little slice

club with a little ice

No love, just bare eyes

Ain’t my fault you can’t visualise

You let the shit start

Tell me what did you give ya mind? Zilch

Look at all this shit we could have built

But talking all big like they’re standing on stilts

Ground feels stable till it tilts

The shit starts rolling down from top of 'em hills

But who’s at the bottom?

Same [?} that’s used to the problems

Used to addiction

Used to the robbing

Used to the answer, you can’t stop him

When there’s demons in your yard it reduces your options

Billy Green told me

'Life is but a dream, homie

You play your part

Then you exit the scene slowly

No one wants to be lonely

So be phoney."

But no one spared a thought for Billy

Where did he go?

Billy’s alive

Billy survived

Billy is risen

Walking to the beat of the drum

Keeping the rhythm

Keeping the secret with him that keeps seeking oblivion

Anywhere you find the lust, Billy is with 'em

Drugs don’t work no more

Too low to get high

Billy Green is alive

Believe in the word

You can see the signs

Saviour of the world

Billy Green’s alive!

A shoulder to cry on in times of despair

So now let us bow our heads in prayer

Can you feel the force of the ghost in here?

(Yeah!)

Can you feel the force of the spirit in the air?

(Yeah!)

I’m gonna' be the next in line…

I’m ready for my bread and wine…

I’ve bled, I’ve sweat, I’ve cried

For eternal life…

(Billy Green is alive)
