John The Revelator - Depeche Mode

John the Revelator
Put him in a elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top, where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies

John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
Put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis

By claiming God as his only rock
He's stealing a god from the Israelite
Stealing a god from a Muslim, too
There is only one God through and through

Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train

Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain.
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame.

All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame

John Zvěstovatel
postavte ho do výtahu
povzneste ho do nejvyšších výšin
vyneste ho až na vrchol, kam jen hory dosáhnou
ať přednese tu svou knihu lží

John Zvěstovatel
on je úlisný kazatel
je načase ho trochu srazit
vezměte ho za ruku
a postavte ho na pódium
ať vyslechneme jeho alibi

Prohlašuje Boha za svou jedinou jistotu
krade boha Izraelitům
a krade i boha muslimům
a přitom je všeho všudy jen jeden bůh

Sedm lží, sedmkrát znásobených, a ještě jednou sedmkrát
sedm andělů se sedmi troubami
pošlete je domů ranním vlakem

tak kdo to volá?
John Zvěstovatel
utrpení je to jediné, co nám kdy nabídl
tak kdo to volá?
John Zvěstovatel
měl by pokorně sklopit hlavu

Už brzy!
Už brzy!
Už brzy!
Už brzy!

Sedm lží, sedmkrát znásobených, a ještě jednou sedmkrát
sedm andělů se sedmi troubami
pošlete je domů, hned ráno

tak kdo to volá?
John Zvěstovatel
utrpení je to jediné, co nám kdy nabídl
tak kdo to volá?
John Zvěstovatel
měl by pokorně sklopit hlavu

Už brzy!
Už brzy!
Johne Zvěstovateli
Už brzy!
Johne Zvěstovateli
Už brzy!
