O, God of Earth and Altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our people drift and dieThe walls of gold entomb us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not Thy thunder from us
Take away our prideJust a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in painAn 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 lipsThe light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile
Are opening, you'll seeShe came to me with a serpent's kiss
As the eye of the Sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears that I crySo we lay in a black embrace
And the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched and I waited for the dawnThe light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile
Are opening, you'll seeGo!Bind all of us together
Ablaze with hope and free
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat, you'll seeThe time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain
For the one who will be king
The watcher in the ringIt is you, oh
It is you
