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
