Hallelujah

That angelic voice, I heard her 
sing,
All of heaven awoke, to its 
corridors ring,
But you'd rather listen to a 
saddening tone, would you?
She had been told, to sing so 
low,
Begin with E3, don't cross G4,
Our nervous dame began to 
sing Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

She had been taught how must 
she cry,
Winnow the grain, cook the rye,
You thought she couldn't make 
you weep, didn't you?
She took in some air, then 
broke away,
From the sired stranglers of 
decay,
And from her lips she sang the 
Hallelujah,


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Tell her when is the victory 
knell,
When ferocious beasts will be 
put to rest,
But you'd rather see her suffer 
now, wouldn't you?
The eternal search for a change 
of heart,
The lifelong request to play your 
part,
Listen to her prayer, the 
Hallelujah,


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

She only wants the simplest 
glance,
From the oceans wave, the 
mountains dance,
Do you want to watch her fade 
away, do you?
She will fly, swim as well,
Till she breaks her tender leg,
Till she will forget how to sing 
hallelujah.


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah.
