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.
