Perry Leopold - The Annunciation lyrics
(...children passing on are old men passing on through the world of children growing old...) New Year's Eve I went a'hawkin' down To the Church at the End of the Road The door was open, so I walked in And I saw my brother's Host Singing in the show With a frightened woman on the row She also sang in the show Well, I fell through the floor When she screamed out "Please Lord! Please, no more..." And a choir sang as I fell I hung from a chord Dangling in the core Of her womb... And on the other shore Chanting in the rain Echoing like thunder And dressed in robes Were the Pilgrims to the Overlord... The chord had broken I went into a dive And as the rain in the valley I fell Over the river I could see very far Until the chanting rose like smoke to my head I had the fear Eye was blind I opened up my eyes Only to see all my kind Well, I stood on the shore Like a beggarman Asking alms from the poor And as the dancers sang "Praise the name of the Lord Lest you shall report much too soon Go much too soon" And on the other shore Dancing in the rain With a band of gypsies And dressed in rags Were the Children of the Lord And they were singing "Somebody wake the dead... Somebody wake the dead... Somebody wake the dead... They will reveal us all... ...And save us all... ...Reveal us all... ...And save us all..." |
