lyrics

When princes walk and all the fools ride in state,
When writs are drawn-up 'gainst the views you advocate,
When Falsehood's clown becomes the chief magistrate,
I'll be coming (x2) like a thief in the night,
I'll be coming (x2) to judge the wrong, turn all upright.

When ideals question that long held as innate,
God's Word is seen as so much fabled dead-weight,
Your contrary voice makes you an object of hate,
I'll be coming (x2) to elevate My sons of light,
I'll be coming (x2) to re-instate My copyright.

When madness rules, deception fools, the wise and dull alike,
Confusion blinds this brief window of time,
I'll be coming (x2) 'though sun, moon, stars are gone from sight,
Still be coming, I'll still be coming for I, I emanate My own light.

When hostile mood and conduct rude is the warp and woof of life,
And partying with the devil the thing to do,
I'll be coming (x2) although I have no invite!,
I'll be coming (x2) I've always dealt with Canaanites!

When thought is tram-lined so to not deviate,
When speech must always be so "appropriate",
When pronouns, cancer-like, just proliferate,
I'll be coming (x2) oh I'll be coming all right!,
I'll be coming (x2) to show the scoffers who's right,
I'll be coming (x2) like a thief in the night,
I'll be coming (x2) to judge the wrong, turn all upright.

about

Roy Davey-Jenkins Brighton, UK

Father, it is widely rumoured, was a Welsh poet; mother was a singer, also from the land of song; offspring: lost bare-footed wanderer until redeemed, now finding his feet, freshly shod and walking in comfortable old genes.
