THE TROOPER
(Harris)

You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too,
You'll fire you musket, but I'll run you through.
So when you're waiting for the next attack,
You'd better stand, there's no turning back.

The bugle sounds as the charge begins,
But on this battlefield no one wins;
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath,
As you plunge into a certain death

The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run,
The mighty roar of the russian guns;
And as we race towards the human wall,
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground,
And the russians fire another round;
We get so near, yet so far away.
We won't live to fight another day.

We get so close, near enough to fight,
When a russian gets me in his sights;
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow,
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky,
My body's numb and my throat is dry;
And as I lay forgotten and alone,
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.

REVELATIONS
(Dickinson)

O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry;
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die.
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
(G. K. Chesterton; English Hymnal)

Just a babe in a black abyss,
No reason for a place like this,
The walls of gold and souls cry out in pain,
An easy way for the blind to go,
A clever path for the fools who know
the secret of the hangman - the smile on his lips.

The light of the Blind - you'll see,
The venom tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.

She came to me with a serpents kiss,
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips,
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry,
So we lay in a black embrace,
And the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched, and I waited for the dawn.

The light of the Blind - you'll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.

Bind all of us together,
Ablaze with Hope and Free,
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see.
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain,
For the one who will be King
the Watcher in the Ring,

It is You.
