IRON MAIDEN - Revelations lyrics
rate meO God of earth and altar<br>Bow down and hear our cry<br>Our earthly rulers falter<br>Our peolple drift and die<br>The walls of gold entombe us<br>The swords of scorn divide<br>Take not thy thunder from us<br>But take away our pride<br>(g. k. chesterton: english hymnal)<br><br>Just a babe in a black abyss<br>No reason for a place like this<br>The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain<br>An easy way for the blind to go<br>A clever path for the fools who know<br>The secret of the hanged man - the smile on his lips<br><br>The light of the blind you'll see<br>The venom that tears my spine<br>The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see<br><br>She came to me with a serpents kiss<br>As the eye of the sun rose on her lips<br>Moonlight catches silver tears I cry<br>So we lay in a black embrace<br>And the seed is sown in a holy place<br>And I watched and I waited for the dawn<br><br>The light of the blind you'll see<br>The venom that tears my spine<br>The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see<br><br>Bind all of us together<br>Ablaze of hope and free<br>No storm or heavy weather<br>Will rock the boat you'll see<br>The time has come to close your eyes<br>And still the wind and rain<br>For the one who will be king<br>The watcher in the ring<br>It is you
