[00:43.750]"O God of Earth and Altar,“
[00:47.110]Bow down and hear our cry,
[00:50.410]Our earthly rulers falter,
[00:53.630]Our people drift and die,
[00:57.060]The walls of gold entomb us,
[01:00.140]The swords of scorn divide,
[01:03.330]Take not thy thunder from us,
[01:06.860]But take away our pride."
[01:12.380](G. K. Chesterton; English Hymnal)
[02:24.970]Just a babe in the black abyss,
[02:28.080]No reason for a place like this,
[02:31.750]The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain,
[02:38.700]An easy way for the blind to go,
[02:42.120]A clever path for the fools who know
[02:45.590]the Secret of the Hangman - the smile on his lips.
[02:53.410]The light of the Blind - you'll see,
[02:57.610]The venom that tears my spine,
[03:01.810]The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.
[03:08.610][03:12.720]She came to me with a serpents kiss,
[03:16.030]As the Eye of the Sun Rose on her lips,
[03:19.970]Moonlight catches silver tears I cry,
[03:26.800]So we lay in the black embrace,
[03:30.100]And the Seed is sown in a holy place
[03:33.530]And I watched, and I waited for the dawn.
[03:41.480]The light of the Blind - you'll see,
[03:45.590]The venom that tears my spine,
[03:49.790]The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.
[05:59.390]Bind all of us together,
[06:02.800]Ablaze with Hope and Free,
[06:05.670]No storm or heavy weather
[06:08.610]Will rock the boat you'll see.
[06:12.120]The time has come to close your eyes
[06:15.230]And still the wind and rain,
[06:18.030]For the one who will be King
[06:21.520]Is the Watcher in the Ring,
[06:29.180]It is You.
[06:41.630]It is You.
