Lyrics - John The Revelator by Beam

Up on the isle of
Patmus
A man was cast one day
As he was left alone to die
He began to pray
The
Holy
Ghost fell on him
The
Spirit, he came down
Well, he began to write about the things he saw
The revelators' name was
John(
Talkin' 'bout
John)
John the
Revelator
He saw
Jerusalem comin' down(
Yes, it was
John)
John the
Revelator
And when he looked around
He saw feet like brass
Eyes like fire
Heard a great voice sayin' "
Come up higher!"(
It was
John)
John the
Revelator
He wrote about the city of
God
While in the spirit prayin'
John turned around to see
If the voice he had heard
Was what it seemed to be
Just like the many waters
A great trumpet sound
Well
He said, "
I am the first and last."
The revelator wrote it down(
Talkin' 'bout
John)
John the
Revelator
He saw
Jerusalem comin' down(
Yes, it was
John)
John the
Revelator
And when he looked around
He saw feet like brass
Eyes like fire
Heard a great voice sayin' "
Come up higher!"(
It was
John)
John the
Revelator
He wrote about the city of
God(
Repeat last verse twice)(c)
