lyrics

And then didst we all cry out
To the ages behind and above us
In sorrows, to call them down
To bury, to end and to crush us
Now fey, in a vacant dance
E’er bouncing off of one another
And how e’er much the cries do arise
Yet can we do no otherwise?
And so it goes

Ye wonder how much might end?
O, so much more than you would dare to imagine
And yet, in the wastes beyond
You’d be surprised how cheaply all this is forgotten
When not one stone shall stand
Up there upon another
And all the wicked deals that we made
To try and save our righteous tower
Shall unmask the whole

And when darkest night doth wear
And the world lies quiet and defeated
The bereaved in their sorrows stare
And, indifferent, the cold sun riseth
And do they who wander slowly from this place
Still hope toward the Messianic Grace
To gather all the world, such as it is
And ever was, in his embrace?
May it yet be so
