"O God of Earth and Altar,
|
Bow down and hear our cry,
|
Our earthly rulers falter,
|
Our people drift and die,
|
The walls of gold entomb 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 the 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 Hangman - 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 the 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 with 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
|
Is the Watcher in the Ring,
|
It is You.
