Dead Can Dance Advent: Lyrics

Advent: Lyrics

In the hour of darkness
                            when our worlds collide
                              assailed by madness
                          that has plagued our lives,

                           On the point of departure
                             on the eve of despair
                            the recourse to reason
                        seems to make no sense at all!

                                   Refrain:

                               The light of hope
                             shines in your eyes.
                               Dementia has gone
                              purged from inside.

                           Throughout our wand'rings
                               in a land of lies
                           we fell from God's grace
                            into a sea of storms.

                            In the self-relevation
                              celebration of love
                           these bold four virtues
                          we seem to've left behind.

                                    Refrain
                                    Refrain

                               Lay bare your heart
                            induce the will of love
                         to restore what little faith
                            that you may have lost.

                          As morning brings re-birth
                              a new day will dawn
                          to ease our troubled minds.

                            Turn away on your side
                          and dream of days to come...
