Lyrics Frank Turner – Glory Hallelujah
Text:
Brothers and sisters, have you heard the news?
The storm has lifted and there’s nothing to lose
So swap your confirmation for your dancing shoes
Because there never was no God
Forget about the fast, let’s have a carnival feast
Raise up your lowered head to hear the liberation beat
Because there never was no God
There is no God
So clap your hands together
There is no God
No heaven and no hell
There is no God
We’re all in this together
There is no God
So ring that victory bell
No cowering in the dark before some overbearing priest
Not waiting until we die until we restitute the meek
No blaming all our failings on imaginary beasts
Because there never was no God
No fighting over land your distant fathers told you of
Not spilling blood for those who have never spread a drop of blood
No finger pointing justified by phantoms up above
Because there never was no God
There is no God
So clap your hands together
There is no God
No heaven and no hell
There is no God
We’re all in this together
So ring that victory bell
And I know you’re scared of dying man and I am too
But just pretending it’s not happening isn’t going to see us through
And if we accept that there’s an end game and we haven’t got much time
Then in the here and now we can try and do things right
We’d be our own Salvation Army, and together we’d believe
In all the wondrous things that mere mortals can achieve
Because I’ve known beauty in the stillness of cathedrals in the day
I’ve sung «Glory Hallelujah! Won’t you wash my sins away?»
But now I’m singing my refrain and this is what I say
I say there never was no God
There is no God
So clap your hands together
There is no God
No heaven and no hell
There is no God
We’re all in this together
There is no God
So ring that victory bell
There is no God
So clap your hands together
There is no God
No heaven and no hell
There is no God
We’re all in this together
There is no God
So ring that victory bell
