[00:15.033]the Stupendium:
[00:15.451]Gather brothers,gather sisters
[00:16.810]Soothe your blisters by the fire
[00:18.534]Though our bones may ache and groan
[00:19.997]We know our spirits never tire
[00:21.956]The temperature's low
[00:23.131]But our purpose is much higher
[00:24.855]What's behind us mustn't blind us
[00:26.344]To DIVINENESS that transpires
[00:28.147]Now her spires have expired
[00:29.688]Well she rests in each of you
[00:31.673]London's not a place
[00:32.823]It wasn't left beneath our boots
[00:34.521]And by grace we have been blessed
[00:35.984]With that most elegant of truth
[00:37.838]You stand here not abandoned
[00:39.327]But as testament and proof
[00:40.842]For a city is its people
[00:42.384]And it's people are it's heart
[00:43.977]Stood together 'gainst the weather
[00:45.466]'Gainst the coming of the dark
[00:47.216]Ne'er a LANTERN has been lit
[00:48.575]With oh so righteous a spark
[00:50.325]When providence claimed continents
[00:51.918]But provided us an ark
[00:53.825]Dan Bull:
[00:54.243]We moved north
[00:55.053]As awful forceful storms
[00:56.255]Removed borders
[00:57.378]Forced to leave the warmth behind
[00:58.919]The daylight hour grew shorter
[01:00.669]Unable to read at night
[01:01.793]The people might dispute lawbooks
[01:03.700]Ushering the death of joy
[01:05.006]Division made a new order
[01:06.886]BRUTE
[01:07.304]FORCE
[01:07.644]AND
[01:07.957]DISCIPLINE
[01:08.349]Ensures all the citizens
[01:09.786]Are chipping in sufficiently
[01:11.301]Under threat of imprisonment
[01:13.051]Liberty's prohibited
[01:14.201]Retired
[01:14.802]It's mandatory compliance now
[01:16.264]To keep the fire alight
[01:17.518]We need to stamp any defiance out
[01:19.347]We can ill afford the price
[01:20.757]Of human rights
[01:21.541]Nor pay the cost of anger
[01:22.952]So we stifle scrutinising eyes
[01:24.597]Astray with propaganda
[01:26.243]The only way that we can pull through
[01:27.993]Is under cruel rule
[01:29.378]If a single person falls out of line
[01:31.102]WE ALL DO
[01:32.147]FAITH:
[01:32.486]Morning gathering or evening prayer
[01:34.942]We still battle for a season fair
[01:38.077]We still huddle in the freezing air
[01:41.159]For a summer that's not even there
[01:44.059]ORDER:
[01:44.477]If that sun won't rise on our horizon
[01:48.343]We'll march on to spite the skies
[01:51.608]And find that wheel of progress,so well worn
[01:55.187]Brought us no shelter from the storm
[01:58.269]the Stupendium:
[01:58.609]I have heard
[01:59.262]That there are those
[01:59.967]Who would defy us
[02:01.300]Who'd choose oppression
[02:02.580]O'er ascension for the pious
[02:04.199]Dissidents without repent
[02:05.453]Are bent on questioning the dias
[02:07.203]Twisted iron fist pariahs
[02:08.849]And their heretic MESSIAH
[02:10.260]Winter blizzards to infinity
[02:12.010]So sing the hymns and litanies
[02:13.682]Hand in and skin the sinners
[02:15.197]If you wish to skim divinity
[02:17.156]Each shiver will deliver us
[02:18.697]Deliverance in time
[02:19.977]Burn the innocents for penitence
[02:21.727]If we preempt the crime
[02:23.268]I'm protector of the truth
[02:24.862]Great erector of the new faith
[02:26.612]Defectors and Objectors
[02:27.997]Can expect a second doomsday
[02:29.930]Unquestioning our destiny
[02:31.366]Relentless we pursue fate
[02:33.117]Alone I have been chosen
[02:34.449]To be spoken through by TRUE GRACE
[02:39.647]Frozen Omens say
[02:40.980]We should invoke another crusade
[02:42.599]Dan Bull:
[02:43.017]We rush to crush dissent
[02:44.219]From those who claim we must repent
[02:46.178]How could a benevolent god
[02:47.432]Subject us to such events
[02:49.260]Against the elements
[02:50.436]Precious seconds
[02:51.089]Each of us has spent
[02:52.369]Completing pulic penance
[02:53.205]Could have been invested
[02:54.302]Putting up the tents
[02:55.608]Pragmatism's borne of pessimism
[02:57.907]Not a full blown pestilence
[02:59.709]Infecting desperate residents
[03:01.146]With false hope
[03:01.930]Now they've sworn oaths
[03:03.105]And pledged commitment to a cult
[03:04.960]No mercy will be shown
[03:06.318]Or quarter given
[03:07.076]FETCH
[03:07.415]THE
[03:07.703]COILED
[03:08.016]ROPE
[03:08.434]And hang them by the necks
[03:09.610]Until it's taut
[03:10.420]The lesson learned is certain:
[03:11.700]No forgiveness for giving attention
[03:13.554]To those worthless sermons
[03:14.886]No measure of faith
[03:16.036]Will keep you warm
[03:16.663]Or sate your appentite
[03:18.047]So pray heed the warning
[03:19.301]Or we may just have to tax your life
[03:21.051]FAITH:
[03:21.365]Morning gathering or evening prayer
[03:23.716]We still battle for a season fair
[03:26.851]We still huddle in the freezing air
[03:30.064]For a summer that's not even there
[03:32.885]ORDER:
[03:33.329]If that sun won't rise on our horizon
[03:37.300]We'll march on to spite the skies

[03:44.091]Brought us no shelter from the storm
[03:46.495]FAITH:
[03:46.756]NOW THE BOOKS OF LAWS HAS CLOSED
[03:47.879]AND IT'S PAGES SHINE A LIGHT
[03:49.655]AS THE PEOPLE FILL THE SHRINES
