Billy Green Is Alive!
[Verse 1, Jehst]
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
[Chorus, Jyager]
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!)
[Verse 2, Jehst]
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!
[Chorus, Jyager]
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!)
[Bridge, Jyager]
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!
[Verse 4, Jyager]
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!
[Outro, Jehst]
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!)
[Jyager]
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)
