Gore Produced By: Ben Hillier Video Director: Blue Leach Lyrics John the Revelator Put him in an elevator Take him up to the highest high Take him up to the top Where the mountains stop Let him tell his book of lies John the Revelator He's a smooth operator It's time we cut him down to size Take him by the hand And put him on the stand Let us hear his alibis By claiming God As his holy right He's stealing a God From the Israelites Stealing a God From the Muslim too There is only one God Through and through Seven lies multiplied by seven Multiplied by seven again Seven angels with seven trumpets Send them home on the morning train Well who's that shouting John the Revelator All he ever gives us is pain Well who's that shouting John the Revelator He should bow his head in shame By and By By and By By and By By and By --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Depeche Mode channel is the band’s official YouTube home, featuring the catalogue of the iconic band’s official music videos, live performances, lyric videos and Depeche Mode-approved playlists.
