Dave Murray - Revelations lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] Just a babe in a black abyss No reason for a place like this 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 [Chorus] The light of the blind, you'll see The venom tears my spine The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see [Verse 2] She came to me with a serpent's kiss As the eye of the sun rose on her lips Moonlight catches silver tears that 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, oh [Chorus] The light of the blind, you'll see The venom tears my spine The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see Go [Verse 3] 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 Still the wind and rain For the one who will be king The watcher in the ring It is you, oh It is you It is you
