The Crown of Sympathy Lyrics


See the light and feel my warm desire, run

through my veins like the evening sun. It

will live but no eyes will see it. I'll bless your

name before I die. No person in everything can

shine, yet shine you did, for the world to see.

All a man hath will he give for life? For life

that's lost bleeds all over me. I'd fallen before

but it never hurt like this. Don't leave me here

to crawl through the mire. I'm without fault

before the throne of god. Take from me the

crown of sympathy. What do you think you'll

see? What do you think there will be? Sit down!

Did you see the sun? What will we become?

Great ones? The mouths that dare not speak his

name, behold them, raised, complete and fine.

The battle for our lives is oh, so brief. Take my

hand and please walk with me. When I was

young the sun did burn my face. I let its love

and warmth wash over me. The melting voice of

many, in the hush of night. Whispering tongues

can poison my honest truth. Come dress me

with your body, and comfort me. I dreamt of a

dead child in my sleep. I wear a terrible

mark in my head. my clean, white bed. It calls

to me. I must lie down. and I want you to lay

with me, in sympathy. No sad "adieus" on a

balcony. For one last time, just walk with me.

At the beautiful gate of the temple, we must

be saved. For deadened, icy pain, covers all the

earth.
