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.
