In my darkest year in the fourth month on the fifth day In exile by the sea a vision came to me The heavens opened up and the word of God was spoken A windstorm from the North A vast cloud with flashing lightning Floods us with light The center burned like glowing metal In the fire was life, there I saw a creature Flash like lightning Its faces looked like this A lion a man an ox an eagle Wings spread overhead I swear they touched each other As I turned around to run The sound of rushing waters Swooped down overhead Dear God the heathen have come That which is light in me darken That which is pure corrupt The temple is defiled The anger never stops Two thousand years of numbness and vanity Cannot crush us Follow me In the dark I saw The hand outstretched below And so I followed down Twilight of God Can you hear the sound of me singing to light the fire in your eyes Can the torn and bloody victim love the jaws that rend him Two thousand years of numbness and vanity Cannot crush us follow me straight through death's door
