O Sleeper |
While the weary nations weep |
Awakening me from a dream |
I see the moonlight steal across my sheets |
My love is lying fast asleep |
Chasing its beams |
She stirs, and then she turns her back to me |
The clouds overhead open up |
For the wicked and just all the same |
And lay low the hills, so to fill |
Every valley below to the brim |
But like the sun that turns the sky |
Illuminating all, in time |
The tables in the temple will be turned on their side |
And just as it scorches up the dunes |
Beneath the height of noon |
The pillars of the empire will be burned, in kind |
And by the holy rock I stand |
As blessed as the sacred ram |
I see the trail of shoulders I’ve climbed over, but |
By god, I’ll bloody up my hands |
With everything I am |
To cut away the mountains I’ve made |
And fill the dales below |
