dave malloy – the sermon كلمات اغاني

[mapple]
god spoke to jonah in his head
god spoke to jonah in his head
filled his heart with words of dread
and jonah believed every word he said
god spoke to jonah in his head

god gave jonah the hard command
god gave jonah the hard command
to tell everybody ’bout the bones and blood
buried ‘neath their feet
tell ’em they had honey in their eyes
honey warm and sweet
jonah didn’t like that none
so jonah started to run

we are all in the belly of the whale
hiding in the dark from the sins that tell our tale
and the darkness will take us down
‘less we speak truth to power
only then will we be free
you and me hand in hand
on a coffin drifting on the sea

jonah on the dock slouched with sin
jonah on the dock slouched with sin
looking for someone to take in him
looking for a place that god hadn’t been
jonah on the dock slouched with sin

stumbling to the ship like a drunk
stumbling to the ship like a drunk
he sweats his way to his purgatory bed
as the shadows spin ’round poor jonah’s head
stumbling to the ship like a drunk

and in torment jonah cries
jonah wrestles and jonah sighs
until at last he drowns in sleep
dreams of death on the waters

but the sky grows black
the sea turns mean
the wail and roar of the wind and sea
the storm tries to break the ship
the men cry out “where’s this fugitive beneath us?”
they stumble and thunder the planks above poor jonah’s bed

and then they cry out to the lord
and then they throw jonah overboard
and the sea grows calm

yes, we are all in the belly of the whale
hiding in the dark from the sins that tell our tale
and the darkness will take us down
‘less we speak truth to power
only then will we be free
you and me hand in hand
on a coffin drifting…

like jonah on the darkness of the sea
jonah on the darkness of the sea
jonah dreamed that he could be
anything he wanted to if he was free
jonah on the darkness of the sea

jaws closed around jonah’s soul
jaws closed around jonah’s soul
as he sinks down into the belly of the whale, of the whale
as he sinks down into the darkness of the whale
and he sinks down into the belly of the whale, of the whale
and he sinks down into the darkness of the whale
