Sign of Retaliation 歌詞

I have fetched the tears up out of the little wells Scooped them up with small, iron words Dripping over the runnels The harsh, cold wind of my words drove on, and still I watched the tears on the guilty cheek of the men Glitter and spill Close your eyes and see what’s behind you Let your pain not guide you to nothing Make your sacrifice for the living Step outside the fire that burns you Cringing pity, and love, white-handed, came Hovering about the judgment which stood in my eyes Whirling a flame Like a flower that the frost has hugged and let go My head is heavy, and my heart beats slowly My strength is shed The tears are dry, and the cheeks’ young fruits are fresh With laughter, and clear the exonerated eyes, since pain Beat through the flesh The angel of judgment has departed again to the nearness Desolate I am as a church whose lights are put out And night enters in dreariness Close your eyes and see what’s behind you Let your pain not guide you to nothing Make your sacrifice for the living Step outside the fire that burns you The fire rose up in the bush and blazed apace The thorn-leaves crackled and twisted in anguish Then god left the place Like a flower that the frost has hugged and let go My head is heavy, and my heart beats slowly My strength is shed
