lyrics

Fervency-Creating: A stripper for Jesus

What is wrong with our child?
She was always so mild, so obedient and respectful.
Why is she slinking around?
Lying, crying… after all we’ve done she’s disrespectful.

Creating a stripper for Jesus.

Look she’s at it again, laughing talking with friends
After I’ve done, I want respect
It’s time to help her grow up
Lashing, bashing; That’ll teach her, that’s what Daddy expects…

Creating a stripper for Jesus.

‘Oh Lord, why did you forsake me so? I am ever the faithful servant as you well know.
I beg of you to justify to me the burden of my grief, oh why?
Is it a test? My faith’s a vest. I’ll not desert you, as you’ve deserted me;
You’ve taken my wife, you’ve taken her life and now the little bitch is making all our lives hell!
It makes me itch, I’ll not spare the rod and return her to you my great God, I’ll serve her up and make you proud, she’ll not make a fool of me; Not now! I’ll beat her to within an inch of her life and make her a substitute for my wife!

Her school work is starting to fail,
She’s really asking to wail, if she’s not back by six she’ll get the stick.
Little madam thinks she gets a say; no work; all play!
She even claimed I was the one that was sick!!

Now she has stripped me of all layers, she refuses to do her prayers,
It is time to show her the real world.
She’s fifteen and thinks she knows it all;
Cast her out! Ungrateful lout!!
If she is so clever, let her learn on her own…

Creating a stripper for Jesus.
Creating a stripper for Jesus.

Oh God, she’s gone from bad to worse, her attitude is now perverse, her foolishness is my sacrifice of rage.
She refuses to pray, I’ll make her pay, her mouth; obtuse, I’ll make her of use to you.
My Lord, I now hear you loud and clear! My will is yours, my soul is free, I must rid myself of all that’s filthy:
The voices of majesty are in me, I know that I’m righteous- chosen by your destiny.
So, why? Why won’t she listen and do as she’s bidden? The little rotter is no daughter of mine, or you, my sacred Divine. Now I know that you need me to prove myself and embrace eternity!

Creating a stripper for Jesus.
Creating a stripper for Jesus.

about

Fervency Copenhagen, Denmark

Fervency began in mid-2010 with Thomas Blæsbjerg composing, analogues/synth and strings and co-collaborator Calvin Batley on vocals, lyrics and strings.
With a sound and vibe reminiscent of and as diverse as acts like Depeche mode and Faith No More, the musical landscapes are broad and bound together by the red line of the band, musically and lyrically, on a bed of alternative rock.
