Ye Sleeping Knights Of Jesus Lyrics

I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus

Gazing out across the open sea

I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus

And they look extremely tired to me

Dyin' of starvation in the gutter (in the gutter)

That is all the future holds for me (holds for me)

Or alcoholic poisoning in the toilet of my choice

That's all there is, as far as I can see

Fried to death in seconds by the Russians (by the Russians)

Or if you're lucky just a sudden stroke (sudden stroke)

A lingering death from fallout as your teeth and hair fall out

A certain death from cancer if you smoke

But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus

Gazing out across the open sea

And they look extremely tired to me

Put your faith in God, he won't expect you

Put your faith in death because it's free

If you believe in nothing, honey, it believes in you

For God's sake don't waste any faith on me

When he comes to judge us in his glory (in his glory)

Then we'll see how old a man can get (man can get)

He must be feeling ancient up there on the rim of space

Two thousand years and he ain't been back yet

But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus

Rub their eyes and gape at what they see

I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus

And it looks as though they've noticed me

And it looks as though they've noticed me
