EN
Oh, thou, who gives sustenance to the universe From whom all things proceed To whom all things return Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun Hidden by a disc of golden light That we may know the truth And do our whole duty As we journey to thy sacred feet Well I said: Lily, oh Lily I don't feel safe I feel that life has blown a great big hole through me And she said: Child You must protect yourself You can protect yourself I'll show you how with fire Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire I said: Lily, oh, Lily I'm so afraid I fear I am walking in the Vale of Darkness And she said: Child Take what I say With a pinch of salt And protect yourself with fire Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire And this is my space Who's on the left? Who's on the right? Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire
