In my darkest year in the fourth month on the fifth day
In exile by the sea a vision came to me
The heavens opened up and the word of God was spoken

A windstorm from the North
A vast cloud with flashing lightning
Floods us with light
The center burned like glowing metal
In the fire was life, there I saw a creature
Flash like lightning

Its faces looked like this
A lion a man an ox an eagle
Wings spread overhead
I swear they touched each other
As I turned around to run
The sound of rushing waters
Swooped down overhead

Dear God the heathen have come

That which is light in me darken
That which is pure corrupt
The temple is defiled
The anger never stops
Two thousand years of numbness and vanity
Cannot crush us
Follow me

In the dark I saw
The hand outstretched below
And so I followed down

Twilight of God

Can you hear the sound of me singing to light the fire in your eyes
Can the torn and bloody victim love the jaws that rend him
Two thousand years of numbness and vanity
Cannot crush us follow me straight through death's door
