Robe and Chalice

from Love and Happiness by Tim Be Told

/

lyrics

You drank the devil's wine from a golden chalice
You called yourself divine when you built a palace
You gathered the people and twisted the truth
Branded me evil and made them bow to you

You wear your robe and I will wear the blood
Point out my sin and I will point to love
You hold your chalice up, but it's just an empty cup
You put your hope in kings and I'll put my hope in love
You put your hope in kings and I'll put my hope in love

You riled up the crowd and you pushed me under
But God will hear my cry, can you feel his thunder?
Go pass your judgement, try as you might
But you will never keep me from the light

You wear your robe and I will wear the blood
Point out my sin and I will point to love
You hold your chalice up, but it's just an empty cup
You put your hope in kings and I'll put my hope in love
You put your hope in kings and I'll put my hope in love

Following your rules, everybody lay low
Doesn't mean it's true, just because you say so
God is your angle to money and power
Your web is still tangled with liars and cowards
You think you're always righteous but you might just be insane

You wear your robe and I will wear the blood
Point out my sin and I will point to love
You hold your chalice up, but it's just an empty cup
You put your hope in kings and I'll put my hope in love
You put your hope in kings and I'll put my hope in love

You wear your robe and I will wear the blood
Point out my sin and I will point to love
You hold your chalice up, but it's just an empty cup
You put your hope in kings and I'll put my hope in love
You put your hope in kings and I'll put my hope in love
