Track #7 from the album Sucker In The Promised Land by Trembles of Fortune (2020)

lyrics

He was a playground king, heir to the fair position
He needed something deeper than a street sound
Down beneath the underground
Biding his time, waiting for the sunshine
Worked by whispers and candlelight
All for the glory of God and the first edition
All for the glory of God and the first edition

It's about time
To feel the rhythm you're feelin'
It's about time
To get on with what you know
It's about time
To deal, deal, deal with the real
It's about time, time, time
To steal back your soul

We all gathered round for the second coming
All the bishops and knights were close at hand
When we stepped off the plane in Vegas, he was seven stories high
The last sweet sixteenth note was his last goodbye
All for the glory of God and the first edition
All for the glory of God and the first edition
