So Cardinal Vincent Nichols wants a flock of zealots.
Simon Zealotes: Christ, what more do you need to convince you,
That you've made it and your easily as strong
As the filth from Rome who rape our country
And who've terrorized our people for so long?
There must be over fifty thousand,
Screaming love and more for you;
Every one of fifty thousand
Would do whatever you asked them to.
Keep them yelling their devotion,
But add a touch of hate at Rome;
You will rise to a greater power,
We will win ourselves a home.
You'll get the power and the glory,
Forever and ever, amen!
Jesus: Neither you, Simon, nor the fifty thousand,
Nor the Romans, nor the Jews,
Nor Judas, nor the twelve,
Nor the priests, nor the scribes,
Nor doomed Jerusalem itself
Understands what Power is,
Understands what Glory is;
Understands at all.
