Lyrics

He crept from the shadows | Into the failing golden light | The goal of his enterprise | Was now in sight || From the misty air he spun a bag of dreams | To warm the guard's hand and gain his leave | And enter he did the once forbidden realm | Casting upon the grass an eerie winter freeze || In the holy chambers one could feel a ch-ch-chill coming on | With a tremble in the distance that darkened the brightest dawn | And so from his long slumber he did rise | To observe his descent from Heaven's skies || As he walked upon the surface of the Earth | He saw a boy on a bridge without purpose | What is my role in this world the boy said | To act without feeling like the living dead? || And all sang | Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah | Oh || What had been preached so long ago | Had gotten twisted along the way | Would this boy Could this boy | Be the one to shed light upon darkened corners | To make clear the voices || With open eyes a determined heart | he shot up like a fiery dart | Through the mist he traveled all night | To come upon the darkness he'd fight || Darkness fought with piercing but closed eyes | As seeing the dawn would spell its demise | But the force of its blows was scattered and unfelt | By the lad who now understood the hand he'd been dealt || In the holy chambers one could feel a warm breeze coming on | With a tremble in the distance that brought with it the brightest dawn | And so from his stolen chair he did rise | To observe his descent from Heaven's skies || And all sang | Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah | Oh
