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
