- Lords Of The New Church Lyricshere's the man whose voice speaks for everyone
and whose actions touch the lives of us all
he rose with energy and style
shake my hand, kiss my child
sway us all with your smile
he readily accepts acclaim
but soon forgets that he came
from the back streets like them
so we pray to the east
we pray to the west
and we see the gods of the new church
as they undertake their vow
tell me who can save us now?
save us from the lords of the new church
don't say no
here's the man some believe is a visionary
here's the man who is driven by greed
he made a fortune overnight
in a deal that he knew
was too good to be true
as he bends the rules of play
becomes obsessed with the game
has to go all the way
they feast and they fly
while we pay the real price
but what price do we place on life?
and whose actions touch the lives of us all
he rose with energy and style
shake my hand, kiss my child
sway us all with your smile
he readily accepts acclaim
but soon forgets that he came
from the back streets like them
so we pray to the east
we pray to the west
and we see the gods of the new church
as they undertake their vow
tell me who can save us now?
don't say no
here's the man some believe is a visionary
here's the man who is driven by greed
he made a fortune overnight
in a deal that he knew
was too good to be true
as he bends the rules of play
becomes obsessed with the game
has to go all the way
they feast and they fly
while we pay the real price
but what price do we place on life?
Facts about Lords Of The New Church
✔️

✔️
When we take a closer look to the meaning, Tasmin Archer's 'Lords of the New Church' is a serene illumination over the decadent lives of the sinners, whose very existence, at least in God's eyes, needs no redemption and have nothing to lose. The contrast is quite striking in the song where the poets can speak to their God through prayer while the 'rotten in the Vatican' indulge in a lavish lifestyle. In fact, the first line of the song itself is a clear message that everybody under God is a sinner and no one can truly claim to be good enough. Thus, if not the 'rotten' of the Vatican, then maybe the 'good' of Delhi or anywhere else could turn out to be the ones to save us from the exploitation of the powerful. Lords of the new church lyrics mainly reflect, question, and finally, let us share the commentaries on life. They nurture our spirits, and sometimes they also lift us into the realms of the hopeful, but more often they leave us as angst-ridden souls. The song speaks first of the 'celebrity and influence', then follows with 'greed and corruption', 'inequality and sacrifice', and finally comes 'spiritual despair and hope'. In the end, the social themes that the lyrics depict are depicted through the eyes of the rich and influential character in the limelight, thus making the whole scenario more complex and less relatable to younger children, which would require the presence of a parent to help them out. The use of language and imagery is not direct, but nonetheless, it might need the explanation for the younger audience.
