Lilywhite Lilith |
The chamber was in confusion |
All the voices shouting loud |
I could only just hear a voice quite near say |
«Please help me through the crowd» |
Said if I helped her through she could help me too |
But I could see that she was wholly blind |
From her pale face and her pale skin |
A moonlight shined |
Lilywhite Lilith |
She gonna take you through the tunnel of night |
Lilywhite Lilith |
She gonna lead you right |
When I’d led her through the people |
The angry noise began to grow |
She said, «Let me feel the way the breezes blow |
And I’ll show you where to go» |
So I followed her into a big round cave |
She said, «They're coming for you, now don’t be afraid» |
Then she sat me down on a cold stone throne |
Carved in jade |
Lilywhite Lilith |
She gonna take you through the tunnel of night |
Lilywhite Lilith |
She gonna lead you right |
She leaves me in my darkness |
I have to face, face my fear |
And the darkness closes in on me |
I can hear a whirring sound growing near |
I can see the corner of the tunnel |
Lit up by whatever’s coming here |
Two golden globes float into the room |
And a blaze of white light fills the air |
