Lily Songtext

von 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 disc 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
You can protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire (Ooh, ooh)

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

Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
