 Revelations



"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 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 of 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
serpent's 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.
