Lyrics
0:43"O God of Earth and Altar,
0:47Bow down and hear our cry,
0:50Our earthly rulers falter,
0:53Our people drift and die,
0:57The walls of gold entomb us,
1:00The swords of scorn divide,
1:03Take not thy thunder from us,
1:06But take away our pride.
1:12(G. K. Chesterton; English Hymnal)
2:24Just a babe in the black abyss
2:28No reason for a place like this
2:31The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
2:38An easy way for the blind to go
2:42A clever path for the fools who know
2:45The Secret of the Hangman - the smile on his lips
2:53The light of the Blind - you'll see
2:57The venom that tears my spine,
3:01The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see
3:12She came to me with a serpents kiss
3:16As the Eye of the Sun Rose on her lips
3:19Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
3:26So we lay in the black embrace
3:30And the Seed is sown in a holy place
3:33And I watched, and I waited for the dawn.
3:41The light of the Blind - you'll see,
3:45The venom that tears my spine,
3:49The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.
5:59Bind all of us together
6:02Ablaze with Hope and Free,
6:05No storm or heavy weather
6:08Will rock the boat you'll see.
6:12The time has come to close your eyes
6:15And still the wind and rain,
6:18For the one who will be King
6:21Is the Watcher in the Ring,
6:29It is You.
6:41It is You.
