Revelations (Live in Sydney 09 February 2008)

Revelations

Alright, Acer Arena, come on
Yeah

Oh, 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

Let me see those hands in the air, Sydney
Oh yeah, take a look at yourselves
Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold, 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 hangman
The smile on his lips

The light of the blind you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
Are you feeling alright, Sydney?

She came to me with a serpents kiss
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears 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

The light of the blind you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see

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 one who will be king, the watcher in the ring
It is you, yeah
It is you
