"O God of Earth and Altar,“ |
| [00:47.110] |
Bow down and hear our cry, |
| [00:50.410] |
Our earthly rulers falter, |
| [00:53.630] |
Our people drift and die, |
| [00:57.060] |
The walls of gold entomb us, |
| [01:00.140] |
The swords of scorn divide, |
| [01:03.330] |
Take not thy thunder from us, |
| [01:06.860] |
But take away our pride." |
| [01:12.380] |
(G. K. Chesterton; English Hymnal) |
| [02:24.970] |
Just a babe in the black abyss, |
| [02:28.080] |
No reason for a place like this, |
| [02:31.750] |
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain, |
| [02:38.700] |
An easy way for the blind to go, |
| [02:42.120] |
A clever path for the fools who know |
| [02:45.590] |
the Secret of the Hangman - the smile on his lips. |
| [02:53.410] |
The light of the Blind - you'll see, |
| [02:57.610] |
The venom that tears my spine, |
| [03:01.810] |
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see. |
| [03:08.610][03:12.720] |
She came to me with a serpents kiss, |
| [03:16.030] |
As the Eye of the Sun Rose on her lips, |
| [03:19.970] |
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry, |
| [03:26.800] |
So we lay in the black embrace, |
| [03:30.100] |
And the Seed is sown in a holy place |
| [03:33.530] |
And I watched, and I waited for the dawn. |
| [03:41.480] |
The light of the Blind - you'll see, |
| [03:45.590] |
The venom that tears my spine, |
| [03:49.790] |
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see. |
| [05:59.390] |
Bind all of us together, |
| [06:02.800] |
Ablaze with Hope and Free, |
| [06:05.670] |
No storm or heavy weather |
| [06:08.610] |
Will rock the boat you'll see. |
| [06:12.120] |
The time has come to close your eyes |
| [06:15.230] |
And still the wind and rain, |
| [06:18.030] |
For the one who will be King |
| [06:21.520] |
Is the Watcher in the Ring, |
| [06:29.180] |
It is You. |
| [06:41.630] |
It is You. |
