Martha, Martha you're so anxious, worried Over all these many things Mary Magda-little girl is crying Tears are running down his feet You can tell me anything I will listen to your words You can take me anywhere I will always follow you there You can tell me all your secrets, Judas You can tell me all your lies (lies, lies, lies) I will follow in your footsteps, Jesus I will follow you to die (die, die, die)
2.
Time has come, time has come Put away arrogance You must humble yourself You must mumble the rest I fall before I was even tall I fold before I was even told Son of God, Son of God Listen here, Part my hair I will sing of your love I will praise you till death Son of God, Son of Man Take my heart, take my hand I will sing of your love I will praise you forever

Festival 03:55
All the quick and dead went to a festival Where they danced and hovered above farmers And the daughters smiled like being coy was new But it surely wasn't made that moment for them No I don't wanna fight 'Cause I could never kill No I don't wanna spin 'Cause I could never stop Calicos and minks were twirling silver rings And the cider's pouring while sage is burning I know I spoke to you in that smoky afternoon When I said no other, I meant no other but you All the quick and dead went to a festival No I don't wanna fight 'Cause I could never kill No I don't wanna spin 'Cause I could never stop

When you're king, you're king alone Ruling from your sinking throne Oh, my king, what have you? Nothing Fitting catacombs for yourself, but you know When you're king, you're king of something Seasick scepter turning purple Dress me up I'm passing over Pull my thoughts away from someone else to be alone When you're king, you're king of all When you're king, you're king of all When you're king, you're left with nothing Lost inside these vacant walls Wander restless through the garden While the caterpillars crawl inside of you now Await the worms, await the worms When you're king, you'll wait for worms When you're king, you're king of worms When you're king, you'll wait for worms Wait for the worms to crawl in you now
