Rain Before the Dawn

The seed of a man, Virgin Sun, hail,
High in the love of universe;

You must forget the warmth it gave, I will forget the light.
You must bring the shadows among us, into my heart and my blood

Silence, calm and beyond, so far and so close it is

I have written a fiery gospel, laid in brunished rows of steel:
As you deal with my contemnors, so with you my faith shall deal;
Let the might born out of a man, Crush the church with his heel,

Where all life embrace,
Death lives, nature breeds,
Like the rain before the dawn
Since the man is marching on
Where all life embrace,
Death lives, bature breeds,
Since the mand is marching on
