Moonlight falls upon the earth
Casts shadows filled with pain
Like a torch that burns my home away

A thousand hearts; here, burn them all
The past turns from stone to wood
Aflame, my search for lost love


The blackened sky shrieks hatred at the moon
Yet I, a feather in the smoke

Take my harbor in the sun
Charred to dust, a coal-filled mine of love
A dove rises on her wings

And charts her course straight into her dream

Lead me the burning cross of Christ

Give me water, save my life
All the earth is bathed in gold
Through the air my heart is sold to Him

As His spirit lays me down
I wish for another time to drown in Your flesh
Turn the wheel with ageless love

You on earth and me in heaven above

Plagued by gunshots all around

The girl, wounded, goes down
Bleeds her love into the trees
Soaks the roots, her tears on fallen leaves

Rise, o children of the dead
The spawn of blood now smoke in the air


From all that dwell below the skies
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword
O how our hearts beat with joy

The heart of Christ still burning bright
For all that dwell below the skies
The cross of Christ still burning bright
