Glory Hallelujah

[Verse 1]

Brothers and sisters, have you heard the news?

The storm has lifted and there's nothing to lose

So swap your confirmation for your dancing shoes

Because there never was a god

Step out of the darkness and onto the streets

Forget about the fast, let's have a carnival feast

Raise up your lowered head and hear the liberation beat

Because there never was no god

[Chorus]

There is no god

So clap your hands together

There is no god

No heaven and no hell

There is no god

We're all in this together

There is no god

So ring that victory bell

[Verse 2]

No cowering in the dark before these overbearing priests

No waiting until we die until we restitute the meek

No blaming all our failings on imaginary beasts

Because there never was no god

No fighting for a land your distant fathers told you of

No spilling blood for those who have never spread a drop of love

No finger pointing justified by phantoms up above

Because there never was a god

[Chorus]

There is no god

So clap your hands together

There is no god

No heaven and no hell

There is no god

We're all in this together

There is no god

So ring that victory bell

[Bridge]

I know you're scared of dying, man, and I am, too

But pretending it ain't happening won't see us through

If we accept that there's an end game and we don't have much time

Then in the here and now we can try and do things right

Our own salvation army, and together we believe

In all the wondrous things mere mortals can achieve

I've known beauty in the stillness of cathedrals in the day

I've sung, "Glory Hallelujah! Won't you wash my sins away?"

But now I'm singing my refrain, and this is what I say

I say there never was a god

[Chorus]

There is no god

Let's get the clap together

There is no god

No heaven and no hell

There is no god

We're all in this together

There is no god

So ring that victory bell
