Arcade Fire - Crucified Again Lyrics

On the 12th of January
You don't need what you can't carry
The blood will flow into the ocean
The voices breaking with the emotion

Crucified, been crucified again
Crucified, been crucified again
In the night, they started singing
They had no right to keep believing
But down below, there's someone screaming
A broken church, no bells are ringing

The crucified, been crucified again
The crucified, been crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again

The preachers talk on television
Hand out the judgement of their religion
But when I heard those women singing
They made a sound I could believe in

Crucified, been crucified again

He who strikes the blow forgets it
But he who bears the scar remembers
The fire is burning down to embers
The fire is burning but I can't remember

Crucified, then crucified again
Crucified, then crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again, and again, and again

All you great and mighty nations
Who think you've paid for your high stations
The cities may be built in the sand
But ours were built by their fathers hands

The crucified, been crucified again
The crucified, been crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again, and again, and again
'Til the crowd cry, do it again

Crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again, and again, and again
'Til the crowd cry, do it again
