Well it's written in blood on the idle road side
When I said I was lost, I was walking on through it all
As though god had my heart and my thirsty soul drank from the grail
and the hunger was gone to the dawn and the daylight.
Cool the fires and turn the night
You was it you, only the first of the few,
Silent and cold it was you forever more.
And this blood is my own running out running through,
With my head in my hands, with the fading of stars,
And from end to end, from the first to the last moment in time,
Is the birth of a sun to the low cries of the dying.
Cool the fires and turn the night
You it was you, opened my eyes and I knew
Follow me love, it was you forever more.
And this blood is my own running out running through,
With my head in my hands, with the fading of stars,
And from end to end, from the first to the last moment in time,
Is the birth of a sun to the low cries of the dying.
