The Power and the Glory

When all our tomorrows have faded away And memories gather around When shadows are long and the shades hide decay When stillness is swallowing sound Still we’ll have no idea where we are bound And still we won’t know what to say As we ready ourselves to go into the ground All worry let go and resolved All misdemeanours and onus absolved At the top of the circle the end of the line Seeing the face of the moon has revolved And altered the measure of time Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory Mine is a twist and a line in a story
