Obscure The Sky Lyrics

Holy this night that I pray From the womb of my dying mother The blood of her thigh reveals her shame This scanning and screening my mind Wasn't born to cry my heart out Is this the last time we will hear Our children cry out Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes From this world we could not hide Will this pain we have be shed Then I know we will make it together Holding this breath that I stole From a beam of light I followed I can't forget the things I've seen Their dying for freedom in vain While we all just watch and wonder Is this the last time we will hear Our children cry out Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes From this world we could not hide Will this pain we have be shed Then I know we wil1make it Once I was born to look in the eyes Of a world that was calling my name Now I can't hear What of these millions And this pain they must bare Never to hear, never to see For their shadows For breaking the silence they kill In cold blood that pours down on me I wear like a crest when I recall This vision that glows through the night While I wish that I was dreaming Is this the last time we will hear Our children cry out Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes From this world we could not hide Will this pain we have be shed Then I know we will make it together
