Go ring out the message, one of pride and joy
He who gave us all has given us his boy
Join the choir of angels as we sing his praise
He shall be the saviour of the human race

I loved you, I loved you, so many years ago

Hold, I am not interested in your task
Rather would I sip the liquid from the flask
Why would any righteous man be nailed to a cross
Ere put a mark on all the bedroom doors

I loved you, I loved you, so many years ago
You have brought a crib that's safe from hate and fear

Boring, really, why should I be lying here?
I was born a rock star and creative of mind
I'm the new messiah of the newest kind

I loved you, I loved you, so many years ago

Pray you ask, oh tell us, master
What are your laws?

Leatherclad I'll tell you as you breathe the force
The meek inherit nothing so we'll bid them farewell
Go get thee in front of me, we'll march to hell

I loved you, I loved you, so many years ago
