Lyrics:
God left ye, merry gentlemen!
Let nothing you dismay,
for Satan is our saviour
have fall'n on this [very] day!
They'll save us from the holy light,
Sweet darkness's what we need!
O tidings of comfort and joy,
pleasure and joi,
o tidings of torture and soil!

From God, the heavenly father
a blessed angel came
and unto certain shepherds
brought tidings of the same
How that the blessed angel
fell from their holy grace.
O tidings of reason and fall,
time for a choice,
o tidings of freedom of choice!

The shepherds at those tidings
rejoiced much in mind.
And left their flocks there godless,
uncertain and in doubt,
and said "so long", 'fore heading south
and all walked down the mines.
O tidings of peace without a war,
make love, not war,
O tidings of equality for all!

Alas there was a group of men
who wanted war and fight,
who said there's only one way to
find oneself the light.
They fear the dark, they fear the mind,
now we are to enlight!
O tidings of reason and mind
for everyone 'round,
o tidings of leaving the past behind!
