"Prayer For Messiah" lyrics
(originally by Leonard Cohen)
His blood on my arm is warm as a bird
His heart in my hand is heavy as lead
His eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
Oh send out the raven, ahead of the dove
His life in my mouth is less than a man
His death on my breast is harder than stone
His eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
Oh send out the raven ahead of the dove
Oh send out the raven ahead of the dove
Oh sing from your chains where you're chained in a cave
Your eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
Your blood in my ballad collapses the grave
Oh break from your branches a green branch of love
After the raven has died for the dove
His heart in my hand is heavy as lead
His eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
Oh send out the raven, ahead of the dove
His life in my mouth is less than a man
His death on my breast is harder than stone
His eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
Oh send out the raven ahead of the dove
Oh send out the raven ahead of the dove
Oh sing from your chains where you're chained in a cave
Your eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
Your blood in my ballad collapses the grave
Oh break from your branches a green branch of love
After the raven has died for the dove
