about

Of the Glorious Body Telling
(lyrics compiled from the Crux Fidelis by Saint Venantius Honorius Clementianus Fortunatus)

lyrics

Sing my tongue, the glory
of the victorious fight
Tell of the noble triumph

Our first father was
defrauded into misery
from the first fatal bite

He ate and died but then,
this good tree would compensate
sustaining the sweetest weight

Sweetest wood and sweetest nails
sustaining the sweetest weight
this was the work of salvation
planned so willingly

Faithful cross! Among all!
You are the noblest tree,
no forest can produce anything similar

Sweetest wood and sweetest nails
sustaining the sweetest weight
this was the work of salvation
planned so willingly

Faithful cross! Among all!
You are the noblest tree,
no forest can produce anything similar

about

Peter Johnston RVA Richmond, Virginia

To put it simply, Peter Johnston RVA is Catholic indie rock; you
wouldn't hear this at mass, but it does try to prove that traditional Catholic thought and indie rock are not mutually exclusive. It began easily enough as a few home recordings but has slowly turned into a full on project that explores matters of human dignity and common good in society.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Johnston RVA
