lirik lagu la dispute - top-sellers banquet
on the ridge there’s a camera
and a dp framing the shot
of a hillside at twilight
and a country club on top
in the foreground
there’s a paved road
lit by the black car splitting the night
tunneled headlights burned in the darkness
move the camera to the banquet hall
where they all arrive in turn
give their coats to a man at the door
they come in for a dinner planned
in their honor all here
top~sellers from the year on the list
on the far side by a glass wall
at a table the executives sit, they watch
people coming in, on a pilgrimage
there’s a slow pan
pull the camera back
let it linger hanging over the room
let the viewer feel the heat
of light on the screen
coming through
and they’re all in awe of it
here standing with the pyramid tip above
shift the focus on each entering guest
like some television wedding event
then come in to the hall
and almost kneel on the ground
in suits and jewels and diamond ballgowns
praise jesus for the gospel of more
and for the kingdom of eternal reward
and the camera tilts
an announcement made, a welcome
“thanks, your seats please
and let’s start
it’s good to see or to meet you
to celebrate the year that we’ve had
they’ll serve dinner soon, enjoy your drinks”
the ensemble starts to play
move the camera now
from the hallway out
shoot the dancers from the back of the line
one by one
going into the room
keep the camera close, follow behind
floating weightless between tables
we change focus crossing paths
all their guests hold their phones out
no one notices the flash all around
pass through glass and showed the hillside glowing white
right before there was sound
[male speaker:]
“that’s only relatively true
but one thing is sure
we must die
and if you’ll just turn to your last page in the banner this week
you will find a series of articles by arnold brink
on that subject
you must die
i must die
in view of that
where will you place your energy?
where will you set your ambitions?
where will be your goals?
how will your aim be determined?
what will be your seeking?”
and a hush fell
all around
in the room gone pitch black
but for the glow of their phones
in their hands
and they wondered had the power gone out
why they couldn’t hear anything
in the dark that surrounded them
not a sound made and nothing came out
when they opened their mouths
you could sense how they felt
in expressions revealed by the screens
[male speaker:]
“…those who are involved in [?]
and in the pleasure of god
these things shall be [?] view
someone said i don’t have to work anymore
who said that?
not me”
it was a dancer they discovered first
between tables in the hall near the center
frozen in her pose mid~jump
suspended in the air
in the corner all the players in their chairs
with their bows mid~stroke
and the servers too
scattered like a statuary
in a garden or a tomb
motionless each of them
except for the guests
and the executives still seated at their table at the front end of the room
then from the ceiling came a tunnel of light
settled downward on the dancer in the air
still floating with her legs outstretched
in a leap above them
they saw her fingers moving first
then her eyes blinking softly in the brightness
and the guests stood dumbstruck watching in awe
her return as if unthawing back to life
floated slowly
going weightlessly up
through the chandeliers above
through the roof beams then out
disappearing through the ceiling
in the night
and another one fell downward on a dancer by the hall door
and another one fell downward on a cellist in his chair
and another on a server
and another on a valet
on another dancer
and another
and they all begin rising skyward
and the camera starts to rise skyward with them
where its lens fixed downward at the room
shows guests in horror pull out their hair
and the head table in the center carries on
eating and drinking and talking
as if entirely unfazed
and the camera rises through the ceiling
and the shot widens as it climbs
and we see in all directions
long beams everywhere to the ground
where bodies inside smile at music only they can hear
at a thousand voices singing in their ears
at the warmth of the light on their skin
and on the ground people weep
gnash their t~~th
burn their belongings
and we see everything around rising upward
until the camera goes grey in the clouds
until the camera goes grey in the clouds
until the camera goes black
until the film cuts
until it ends without credits
and there’s n0body left to see
[male speaker:]
that is the [?] purpose
[?]
and as we work the work of god
the work of [?]
as we seek the kingdom
and his righteousness
and we’re all gonna be faithful in our daily neighbors
we’re going to use our time
we’re going to budget our money
we’re going to be careful in spending
we’re going to be wise in investing
and he will regulate these things
for the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the lord
amen
our god
we thank thee for all the mercies bestowed upon us
for thy word and thy spirit
for thy power of grace
and for thy love as it speaks to us
may we never cease seeking thy kingdom
seeking thy righteousness
may we wait on thee day by day
to receive at thy hand food and drink and clothing and shelter
and all things
in jesus name
amen
