Lily

Kate Bush

Oh thou, who givest sustenance to the universe

From whom all things proceed

To whom all things return

Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun

Hidden by a disk of golden light

That we may know the truth

And do our whole duty

As we journey to thy sacred feet



Well I said

"Lily, Oh Lily I don't feel safe

I feel that life has blown a great big hole through me"

And she said

"Child, you must protect yourself

I'll show you how with fire"



Gabriel before me

Raphael behind me

Michael to my right

Uriel on my left side

In the circle of fire



I said

"Lily, Oh Lily I'm so afraid

I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness"

And she said

"Child, take what I say

With a pinch of salt

And protect yourself with fire"



Gabriel before me

Raphael behind me

Michael to my right

Uriel on my left side

In the circle of fire
