Ave Maria, ave Maria Every echo deathly old Every crucifix drowned in gold Every litany a curse run cold Invocation wrung dry Benediction bid goodbye In a place where love comes to die But there's a new noise in the church It's the sound of a spanner in the works Ave Maria, ave Maria Unholy choir Where fallen angels Don't fear to tread There's a racket and a ring See the madcaps coil and spring Hear the hymnal start to swing Holy mother come down Say a prayer to sense and sound Take my arm and we'll dance around For there's a new noise in the church It's the sound of a spanner in the works Ave Maria, ave Maria Unholy choir (waking the dead) Where fallen angels don't fear to tread Unholy choir (waking the dead) Where fallen angels don't fear to tread Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Must give birth and love Won't give birth and love
