Lovely lovely carol sue |
|
I see the heel of the father |
|
Crush the head of the serpent for you |
|
An' that beast who found |
|
His way up to your room |
|
You know the one the one |
|
Who's colors are never true |
|
Yeah you do |
|
Yet all the while 'neath |
|
His banner you did stand |
|
'neath the shadow of his wing |
|
Do you remember |
|
Sorrow stands near an' close at hand |
|
Sorrow stands an' in sorrow's hand |
|
The burning ember |
|
He'll come a cinder |
|
Fire call the kettle black |
|
The dark can only hinder it |
|
It will not hold you back |
|
Nor tear you asunder |
|
And the good shepherd |
|
Lo he left all the others |
|
An' went to look for you |
|
Yes an' he did find thee |
|
An' with bruised hands |
|
He did unbind thee |
|
Brought you out |
|
Into the light of day |
|
He'll come a cinder |
|
Fire call the kettle black |
|
The dark can only hinder it |
|
It will not hold you back |
|
Nor tear you asunder |
|
O come and stand with me mother |
|
As we wait for the master's voice |
|
An' head that way together |
|
He'll come a cinder |
|
Fire call the kettle black |
|
The dark can only hinder it |
|
It will not hold you back |
|
Nor tear you asunder |
