Stephin Merritt - Hail! Son of Heaven lyrics

Hail, son of heaven glorious! Long life! a thousand more! Always to be victorious Every battle, every war! Hail, hail the all-beneficient! Play drums and trumpets loud! Sing, sing, you are an instrument Raise your voice among the crowd Play, play the never-ending song Loud, loud for all to hear! Bow lowers as we march along Throw hats aloft and cheer! Hail, son of heaven glorious! Long life! a thousand more! Always to be victorious Every battle, every war! Always to be victorious Every battle, every war!
