The Fisherman of Ephesus Lyrics – Jethro Tull

The Fisherman of Ephesus Lyrics by Jethro Tull

Ten set out along the rocky road
To suffer for their saintly sins
The great betrayer gone missing
Having topped himself or split his skin

Now, the young beloved one
Last son of father Zebedee
Comes to the town of Ephesus
To spin the lure and reel them in

Casts a line, sits waiting quietly
For the telltale nibble to reveal
The passing curiosity
The inner need, the faint appeal

Sings sweetly for his supper
Sings of miracles and fairy tales
Of barley loaves and two small fish
Of barley loaves and two small fish

To make, for multitudes, a meal
Fisherman of Ephesus
Surveys the spirits’ battleground
Flag was flown, a story told

Of crucifix and th#rn# crown
