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
Take away our pride
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 on his lips
The light of the blind
you'll see
The venom 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 tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile
are opening you'll see
Go
Bind all of us together
ablaze with hope and 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 and rain
For the one who will be king
the watcher in the ring
It is you
Ohh
It is you
