O the dragons are gonna fly tonight
They're circling low and inside tonight
It's another round in the losing fight
Out along the great divide tonight
|
|
|
|
|
We are aging soldiers in an ancient war
Seeking out some half-remembered shore
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more
Asking, "If there's no heaven, what is this hunger for?"
|
|
|
|
|
Our path is worn, our feet are poorly shod
We lift up our prayer against the odds
And fear the silence is the voice of God
|
|
|
|
|
And we cry Allelujah, Allelujah
We cry Allelujah
|
|
|
|
|
Sorrow is canstant and the joys are brief
The seasons come and bring no sweet relief
Time is a brutal but a careless thief
Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief
|
|
|
|
|
It is the heart that kills us in the end
Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
As it was now and ever shall be amen
|
|
|
|
|
And we cry Allelujah, Allelujah
We cry Allelujah
|
|
|
|
|
So there'll be no guiding light for you and me
We are not sailors lost out on the sea
We were always headed toward eternity
Hoping for a glimpse of Galilee
|
|
|
|
|
Like falling stars from the universe, we are hurled
Down through the long loneliness of the world
Until we behold the pain become the pearl
|
|
|
|
|
Cryin' Allelujah, Allelujah
We cry Allelujah
And we cry Allelujah, Allelujah
We cry Allelujah
|
