John The Revelator Lyrics - Playing The Angel - Depeche Mode

John the Revelator put him in an elevator 

Take him up to the highest high 

Take him up to the top where the mountains stop 

Let him tell his book of lies 

John the Revelator he's a smooth operator 

It's time we cut him down to size 

Take him by the hand 

And put him on the stand 

Let us hear his alibis 

By claiming God as his holy right 

He's stealing a God from the Israelite 

Stealing a God from a Muslim, too 

There is only one God through and through

Seven lies, multiplied by seven 

Multiplied by seven again 

Seven angels with seven trumpets 

Send them home on the morning train 

Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator 

All he ever gives us is pain 

Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator 

He should bow his head in shame 

By and by, by and by 

By and by, by and by 

Seven lies, multiplied by seven 

Multiplied by seven again 

Seven angels with seven trumpets 

Send them home on the morning train
