lyrics

White walls shimmer tall and wide
Spotless spires from on high
Flawless features carved in white
Blinding light cleansed my eyes

From my birth the truth was plain
With pure heart life on earth was pain
Repulsed by everything I saw
My mind became my home

In the hollow tree I cried
Cradled in your angel arms
Perfect prisms I imposed
Upon your childish brow
Abra you are my true love
The only girl I can see
All through life you’ll walk with me
In death we’ll meet our Maker

From my birth the truth was plain
With a pure heart life on earth was pain
Repulsed by everything I saw
My mind became my home

Strong of arms and swift of mind
My brother watched over me
Silent and still my father roamed
The farm grew wild and free
One day I met my lost mother
It filled my soul with blackened smoke
The world had lost all light for me
So I packed my bags to fight
Off to war I went to die

River Jordan flood this world
May water cover every stone
Till perfect stillness fills the air
And peace may find a home
