Lyrics

Saint James! 
I keep looking to call down fire 
Laser beam beam from a Gothic spire 
Yeah, well you know me 
Santiago! 
Counting my megatons  
A time for walking, a time for talking 
A time for blazing guns 
I just got back from Finisterre where   
I said a prayer for everyone there 
Red vermouth upon the tongue, flung 
My arms around your silver statue  
Saint John!  
The smoke of mortars and cigarettes  
A family photo, the Ardennes forest   
"Write my name down a hundred times, cos you know me" 
Santiago! 
Called into battle and  
Sword in a holy hand and the soundtrack: 
A celestial choir 
Angels guide him on his wire 
Above his shell his tongue of fire grows higher  
Does vengeance make the heart a liar  
Just walked back from Finesterre where 
I bought some candles and I lit a pair in a church 
Yeah, that was the end of the Earth'  
Red vermouth, Galician sun  
Antiphon upon my tongue, sung  
For the three in the one  
A mission can be finally seen 
Exile of this libertine in time  
Was maybe more like a quarantine  
Saint James, yeah! 
Saint James, yeah!  
Saint James, yeah! 
Saint James, yeah!  
Saint James, yeah! 
Saint James!
