Iron Maiden - 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 the 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 Hangman - the smile on 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 serpents kiss

As the Eye of the Sun Rose on her lips

Moonlight catches silver tears I cry

So we lay in the 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.

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

Is the Watcher in the Ring,

It is You.

It is You.
