Green Iris

[Intro] Whispered a name no one remembers One faints like a song on a lyre Another, while breathing out Had the sweet smile of a young angel Coming back through the twigs and dark foliage I see their eyes sparkle [Verse 1] In your gaze I’m undone How? I wonder what went wrong End of days brings us home Exegesis, it just drags on [Chorus] I hear the fates Sing their song, blithely whispering I’m not afraid Sing your song and then tear me away [Verse 2] All light will fail in the morning Won’t you tell me how we’ll fall In cosmic fire or sudden war Your green iris, it sees it all [Chorus] Because I see your gaze When they sing their song and they blithely whispering I’m not afraid Sing your song and then tear me away [Outro] Here come the saints, it ain’t like nothing you can imagine The ringing clangor of one hundred and forty thousand and four If you paid attention, by now you should know the story It’s the reclaiming of power in glory It’s the sound you knew just wasn’t there And alight, so bright that no one can bear it So it changes your spirit And bares your natural soul
