Lyrics

263 Dead Popes

263 popes dead and gone and one still alive

Urbi et orbi, waiting for number 265, hallelujah

263 dead popes

When God is dead and Jesus left

Who could forgive a poor man's theft

Kiss the soil, kiss the soil, old man

Kiss the soil again

Kiss the soil, kiss the soil

You will become in the end

Break the bread, break the bread God sent

For the lower men

May the lord give us all such a long time

May the lord give us all such a long long time, hallelujah
