1
O the dragons are gonna fly tonight
2
They're circling low and inside tonight
3
It's another round in the losing fight
4
Out along the great divide tonight
5
We are aging soldiers in an ancient war
6
Seeking out some half remembered shore
7
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more
8
Asking if there's no heaven what is this hunger for?
9
Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod
10
We lift up our prayer against the odds
11
And fear the silence is the voice of God
12
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
13
We cry Allelujah
14
Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
15
The seasons come and bring no sweet relief
16
Time is a brutal but a careless theif
17
Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief
18
It is the heart that kills us in the end
19
Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
20
As it was now and ever shall be amen
21
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
22
We cry Allelujah
23
So there'll be no guiding light for you and me
24
We are not sailors lost out on the sea
25
We were always headed toward eternity
26
Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee
27
Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled
28
Down through the long loneliness of the world
29
Until we behold the pain become the pearl
30
Cryin Allelujah Allelujah
31
We cry Allelujah
32
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
33
We cry Allelujah
