Текст Father John Misty — Anthem

The birds, they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
«Don’t dwell
On what has passed away
Or what is yet to be»

Ah, the wars
They will be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
Bought and sold
And bought again
The dove is never free

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in

We asked for signs
And the signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah, the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see

And I can’t run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they’ve summoned
They’ve summoned up a thundercloud
They’re gonna hear from me

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in

You can add up the parts
But you won’t have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart, every heart
To love will come
But like a refugee

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
