Antony and the Johnsons: If it be your will en you're my sister

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing

If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well

And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will

If it be your will.


Antony and the Johnsons

Antony and the Johnsons is een band uit de Verenigde Staten die is samengesteld rond de Britse zanger-componist Antony Hegarty. De muziek wordt wel New Weird America genoemd.

Antony and the Johnsons maakt vooral ballads en hun nummers worden wel omschreven als ‘kamermuziek’, vanwege het gebruik van strijkers en houtblazers.

De bijzondere falset van Antony is bepalend voor het geluid van Antony and the Johnsons. Ze braken in 2005 door met hun album I Am a Bird Now.
