Revelations Lyrics

    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 - you'll 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 you'll 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
