"O God of Earth and Altar,
2
Bow down and hear our cry,
3
Our earthly rulers falter,
4
Our people drift and die,
5
The walls of gold entomb us,
6
The swords of scorn divide,
7
Take not thy thunder from us,
8
But take away our pride."
9
(G. K. Chesterton English Hymnal)
10
Just a babe in the black abyss,
11
No reason for a place like this,
12
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain,
13
An easy way for the blind to go,
14
A clever path for the fools who know
15
the Secret of the Hanged Man-the smile on his lips.
16
The light of the Blind-you'll see,
17
The venom that tears my spine,
18
The Eyes of the Nile are opening-you'll see.
19
She came to me with a serpent's kiss,
20
As the Eye of the Sun Rose on her lips,
21
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry,
22
So we lay in the black embrace,
23
And the Seed is sown in a holy place
24
And I watched, and I waited for the dawn.
25
The light of the Blind-you'll see,
26
The venom that tears my spine,
27
The Eyes of the Nile are opening-you'll see.
