Obscure The Sky Lyrics

Obscure The Sky lyrics

Holy this night that I pray

From the womb of my dying mother

The blood of her thigh reveals her shame



This scanning and screening my mind

Wasn't born to cry my heart out

Is this the last time we will hear

Our children cry out



Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes

From this world we could not hide

Will this pain we have be shed

Then I know we will make it together



Holding this breath that I stole

From a beam of light I followed

I can't forget the things I've seen



Their dying for freedom in vain

While we all just watch and wonder

Is this the last time we will hear

Our children cry out



Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes

From this world we could not hide

Will this pain we have be shed

Then I know we wil1make it



Once I was born to look in the eyes

Of a world that was calling my name

Now I can't hear

What of these millions

And this pain they must bare

Never to hear, never to see

For their shadows



For breaking the silence they kill

In cold blood that pours down on me

I wear like a crest when I recall



This vision that glows through the night

While I wish that I was dreaming

Is this the last time we will hear

Our children cry out



Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes

From this world we could not hide

Will this pain we have be shed

Then I know we will make it together
