"o god of earth and altar,“ |
| [00:47.11] |
bow down and hear our cry, |
| [00:50.41] |
our earthly rulers falter, |
| [00:53.63] |
our people drift and die, |
| [00:57.06] |
the walls of gold entomb us, |
| [01:00.14] |
the swords of scorn divide, |
| [01:03.33] |
take not thy thunder from us, |
| [01:06.86] |
but take away our pride." |

(g. k. chesterton; english hymnal)(g.k. |
| [01:18.45] |
|
| [02:24.97] |
just a babe in the black abyss, |
| [02:28.08] |
no reason for a place like this, |
| [02:31.75] |
the walls are cold and souls cry out in pain, |
| [02:38.70] |
an easy way for the blind to go, |
| [02:42.12] |
a clever path for the fools who know |
| [02:45.59] |
the secret of the hangman - the smile on his lips. |
| [02:53.41] |
the light of the blind - you'll see, |
| [02:57.61] |
the venom that tears my spine, |
| [03:01.81] |
the eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see. |
| [03:08.61] |
|
| [03:12.72] |
she came to me with a serpents kiss, |
| [03:16.03] |
as the eye of the sun rose on her lips, |
| [03:19.97] |
moonlight catches silver tears i cry, |
| [03:26.80] |
so we lay in the black embrace, |
| [03:30.10] |
and the seed is sown in a holy place |
| [03:33.53] |
and i watched, and i waited for the dawn. |
| [03:40.34] |
|
| [03:41.48] |
the light of the blind - you'll see, |
| [03:45.59] |
the venom that tears my spine, |
| [03:49.79] |
the eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see. |
| [03:58.34] |
|
| [05:59.39] |
bind all of us together, |
| [06:02.80] |
ablaze with hope and free, |
| [06:05.67] |
no storm or heavy weather |
| [06:08.61] |
will rock the boat you'll see. |
| [06:12.12] |
the time has come to close your eyes |
| [06:15.23] |
and still the wind and rain, |
| [06:18.03] |
for the one who will be king |
| [06:21.52] |
is the watcher in the ring, |
| [06:29.18] |
it is you. |
| [06:41.63] |
it is you. |
