lyrics

At the head is Christ the Pantocrator
on a field of gold tiles.
On the second rank stand the
apostles who gaze without smiles.
Saint James gives the A okay, Peter
with his wooly hair.
Then the archangel Michael next to
Mother Mary, she’s got the only
chair.

On the third tier, with the pontiffs
and the patriarchs
Is the low born English cleric who
only played a bit part.
Well he got himself whacked by
King Henry and it caused an
almighty ruckus with the Holy See.
You see there’d been a lot of
wrangling about state and canon
law and Thomas Becket just couldn’t
let it be.

So after that went down his buddy
Alexander stepped in and
threatened a papal interdict.
And that was around the time work
began on the foundations of
Monreale Cathedral crypt.
Henry’s friend Roger the Sicilian
greased some palms to stop him
getting excommunicated.
And public atonement did the trick
and Rome’s displeasure abated.

As we stand under the stars, the
midnight sky and the golden beams,
Look up, look up, look up at the
Heavenly Court,
Flanked by the archangels Raphael
and Uriel.
Above two Seraphim each with six
wings:
Two to cover the face in reverence
to the divine grace,
Two to cover the feet in adoration
of you and me,
And two more wings each with
which to beat a hasty retreat.
Around the wings are eyes, around
the wings are eyes,
Around the wings are eyes, kept
fixed on the prize
And next to them the cherubim, not
like children.
No they ain’t little children but like
bugs with wings pointing down and
they fly around.
And is the vessel that sits on the
throne The jar of vinegar
Offered to a man dying of thirst?
Or is it the grail? Is it the grail?
What is the grail?
Under the stars, the midnight sky
and the golden beams
And the wings of angels and the
wings of angels, only angels have
wings.
And the wings of angels and the
wings of angels, only angels have
wings.
