'Psalm' was the first song Bryan Ferry wrote but was not recorded until their third album.
Lyrics to the song Triptych as recorded by Roxy Music.
Here the soil is barren
Here nothing grows
But crosses
They know not what they do
You, your forgiveness
Falls as dew
Nailed upon a wooden frame
Twisted yet unbroken
Open mouthed a silent choir
Understood, unspoken
Never was there heard a sound
Until the heavens opened
Now the tide is turning
To other worldly yearning
Though the sun's eclipse seems final
Surely he will rise again
J.O'B.
