Lyrics

I come from a long line of mages and men
Of magic and might
But my poor heart and eyes
They will not survive
The things I have seen on this night

No gloryhouse clearing makes way for the lord
In the yard mute with snow
And the door choked with vines
No visible signs
We host the divine here below

Tell me good people don't it seem sometimes
We're only built for sorrow
Baby child
Give us tomorrow

I've seen how a pure heart it sickens the world
In the space around him
That was empty of spite
Ire, envy or fright
The devil was bound to rush in

And far far away in the world without end
An angel it stands
Its mouth is aghast
Its eyes are downcast
I know it was wringing its hands

So, tell me good people don't it seem sometimes
We're only built for sorrow
Baby child
Give us tomorrow
