[Verse 1]
This graveyard hides a million secrets
And the trees know more than they will tell
But the ghost of the saints and scholars will haunt you
In heaven or in Hell
Rattled by the Glimmerman, the Bogey-man, the Holy man
And living in the shadows, in the shadows of a gunman
Rattled like the coppers in your greasy till
Rattled until time stood still
Look across your shoulder and the school bell rings
Another day of made-to-measure history
Well I don’t mind if your heroes all have wings
But your terrible beauty is torn
[Chorus]
Faithful departed
We fickle hearted
As you are now so once were we
Faithful departed
We the meek hearted
With graces imparted
Bring flowers to thee
[Verse 2)
The girls from the kips proclaim their love for you
When you stumbled in they knew you had a shilling or two
But they cursed you on Sundays
And Holy days of abstinence
When you all stayed away
And when you slept there
A naked light bulb blinded your shame
Your shadow on the wall took all the blame
And the Sacred Hearts picture, compassion in His eyes
Drowned out the river’s sighs
Ah, let the grass grow green over the brewery tonight
It’ll never come between the darkness and the light
And there’s nothing too sick that it can’t be eased
By the Devil’s holy water and a rosary beads
[Chorus]
Faithful departed
We fickle hearted
As you are now so once were we
Faithful departed
We the meek hearted
With graces imparted
Bring flowers to thee
[Bridge]
[Verse 3]
You’re a history book which I never could write
Poetry in paralysis too cheap to recite
So dress yourself, bless yourself
You’ve won the fight
We're gonna celebrate tonight
Maybe we’ll even climb the pillar
Like you always meant to
And watch the sun rise over the strand
We’ll close our eyes and we’ll pretend
That it could be the same again
And then I’ll bury you upright
So the sun doesn’t blind you
And you don’t have to gaze at the rain and the stars
You can sleep and dream of the Moral Bar
And whiskey in the jar
[Chorus]
Faithful departed
Look what you started
An underdog’s wounds aren’t so easy to mend
Faithful Departed
There’s no broken hearted
And no more tristesse
In your world without end
