Golden Shore

Tell the priest there's nothing you can say or do
Say your heart's been promised to the ocean blue
All your gray won't keep you safe from what's in store
As your journey out toward celestial shores

Bless the crimson sky laid out before the night
Bless the stony cells that made the angel fly
Far away from all that does torment your soul
Far away from all that made your skin grow cold

There before you stretched upon a Golden shore
Stands the Emerald city and the Gates of Lord
There their guardian stands with this eternal book
And the names of all those who one day won't look

On the face of him who did create the skies
On the face of him with whom eternity lies
Take a step now brother look him in the eyes
And discover where here your eternity lies
