Revelations

Piece of Mind

O God of earth & altar
Bow down & hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our peolple drift & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & rain
For the one who will be king
The Watcher in the Ring
It is you
