Penny & Sparrow – Bishop lyrics
[Verse 1]
Think ye not of
Earthen autumn things
On your lonesome
To a neighbor bring
Any dream that keeps you from sleeping well
Be it Hell or if it be glory

[Verse 2]
Maranatha
Science fiction king
We come after, yes
In a rocket bring
We ourselves and naught else
Save cosmic lust
This frontier must
Greater commission be anon

[Chorus]
Heal me by degrees
Heal me by degrees
Fear is founded‚ be thou grounded
Heal me by degrees

[Verse 3]
Dost thou not feel fed?
Manage tempest‚ sing
From a space ship bed
Manna‚ blest, our voyage brings
Hallelujah, praise every star crossed kid
Try? We all did
C'mon‚ darkness calls anon

[Chorus]
Heal me by degrees
Heal me by degrees
Fear is founded, be thou grounded
Heal me by degrees

    These are enigmatic and blend a lot of things. I hope the band will talk some more about the ideas behind the song.
    I hear the lyrics as a hymn, where the prayer for healing and redemption is to a higher being, in this case a cosmic being.
    Maranatha is arameic for "our lord has come". In an interview with Atwood Magazine, Andy Baxter of Penny&Sparrow described that Bishop is one of his favourites on the album (see quote below) and that at the time he was reading both Shakespeare's Othello and ScienceFiction by Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit451).

    I wonder if the chorus "Heal me by degrees" is a reference to 451 degrees F (in Bradbury's book described as the temerature at which book pages burn)
    "Baxter: Those are different answers for me. My favorite will probably change, but right now it would be Bishop. Every album we name a track after a principal character in Les Mis, and this album’s winner is my favorite track. I was reading a ton of Bradbury Sci-fi & Othello at the time and that bled all over the song. I love that."
