Revelations

O God of earth and altar

Bow down and hear our cry

Our earthly rulers falter

Our peolple drift and die

The walls of gold entombe us

The swords of scorn divide

Take not thy thunder from us

But take away our pride (g. k. chesterton: english hymnal)

Just a babe in a black abyss

No reason for a place like this

The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain

An easy way for the blind to go

A clever path for the fools who know

The secret of the hanged man – the smile on his lips

The light of the blind you'll see

The venom that tears my spine

The eyes of the nile are opening – youll see

She came to me with a serpents kiss

As the eye of the sun rose on her lips

Moonlight catches silver tears I cry

So we lay in a black embrace

And the seed is sown in a holy place

And I watched and I waited for the dawn

The light of the blind you'll see

The venom that tears my spine

The eyes of the nile are opening – you'll see

Bind all of us together

Ablaze of hope and free

No storm or heavy weather

Will rock the boat youll see

The time has come to close your eyes

And still the wind and rain

For the one who will be king

The watcher in the ring

It is you
