Lilywhite Lilith

[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel] The chamber was in confusion All the voices shouting loud I could only just hear a voice quite near say "Please help me through the crowd" Said if I helped her through, she could help me too But I could see that she was wholly blind From her pale face and her pale skin A moonlight shined [Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins] Lilywhite Lilith (Ah-ah) She gonna take you through the tunnel of night (Ah-ah) Lilywhite Lilith (Ooh-ooh-ah) She gonna lead you right (Ah-ah, ah) [Verse 2: Peter Gabriel] When I'd led her through the people The angry noise began to grow She said, "Let me feel the way the breezes blow And I'll show you where to go" So I followed her into a big round cave She said, "They're coming for you, now don't be afraid" Then she sat me down on a cold stone throne Carved in jade [Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins] Lilywhite Lilith (Ah-ah) She gonna take you through the tunnel of night (Ah-ah) Lilywhite Lilith (Ooh-ooh-ah) She gonna lead you right (Ah-ah) [Outro: Peter Gabriel] She leaves me in my darkness I have to face, face my fear And the darkness closes in on me I can hear a whirring sound growing near I can see the corner of the tunnel (Around the corner) Lit up by whatever's coming here (Out of the tunnel) (Two golden globes hover above the ground) Two golden globes float into the room (And as the sound grows, a clear white light) And a blaze of white light fills the air (It's getting brighter)
