lyrics

(feedback swells)
(choir inhales)
Brothers. Count what they took.

I passed your brass collection plate
While rot was eating through the gate
I gave my last and called it seed
You built a jet out of my need
(out of my need)

The neon cross is flickering
(flickering, flickering)
I hear the sound of reckoning

Burn it clean! Burn it clean!
The gilded pulpit and the screen
Burn it clean! Burn it clean!
I want the God the poor have seen
(burn it, burn it)

Your marble floor, my mother's knees
She scrubbed while you sold her the keys
Sold her the gates, sold her the flame
I wrote the invoice in her name
(in her name, her name)

Burn it clean! Burn it clean!
The gilded pulpit and the screen
Burn it clean! Burn it clean!
I want the God the poor have seen

(a coin rolls on stone)
If mercy's real, it isn't sold
It walks in with the wet and cold

Burn it clean! Burn it clean!
The gilded pulpit and the screen
Burn it clean! Burn it clean!
I want the God the poor have seen

Burn it clean...
(embers, wind)
