Wise Men Lyrics

Wise Men lyrics

In the dessert where the stars are bright

And constellations rule your life

Long ago three kings set out

To follow a peculiar light



What did they see up in the sky

That made them take leave of their land?

And carry gifts on camel back

Of the years of endless sand



Through cloudless days and cloudless nights

The bells upon the camel ring

And the wind played on rips of sand

It must be the voices of angels singing



Gold to crown His loftiness

Myrrh for the man upon his death

Frankincense for godliness



Black smoke eyed that starts tonight

Minds explode in golden sand

Underground black waters flow

In Afghan fields, the poppies grow



Gold to crown His loftiness

Myrrh for the man upon his death

Frankincense for godliness
