Praise the Low

Emily is hanging round
By her feet strung upside down
Swaying back and forth without a sound
The time has come to claim your place
Wipe that look right off your face
Or disappear without a trace
And all around a fire’s burning
Brighter then the sun
But we don’t feel the sun today
'cause once you’ve offered all to burn
Then so above below
The time has come for us to praise the low
To praise the low
Dripping blood and taken down
Emily is happy now
Lying face down on the winter ground
So shut your eyes and genuflect
The avenging angel comes
And start to count
Once you’ve offered all to love
Then so above below
The time has come for us to praise the low
To praise the low
To praise the low
Emily is hanging round
By her feet strung upside down
Swaying back and forth without a sound
Without a sound
