Chasing Ravens IV. Cleanse the Dark Earth

from New World Hymnal by rhyb

/

lyrics

Vivid sunrise has its beam
To Cleanse the dark earth.
And I so many miles away
From the ivory city’s fray
Arise..

The Flowers dance with breezy swing
As the moon's ghost speaks through wind
And the sounds of waves, a new voice in my ears
Drown out the city's fears

No oppressive demands
Only rolling land
Thou, divinity,
And my credulity

But even in my freedom
I remember when age were young
Prior to such enlightenment
And pastures I now call home

When I roamed in the shadow of the towering walls
In slavery, lust and greed my chains were bound

Blind as the sleeping
I'd indulge in the soldiers rule
To destroy the unbelievers
And announce the industrial world

Till my rage wore out and left my heart forlorn
And the walls I’d come to love engulfed the sun

So thank thee Lord
I fled, time still to hear the waves
The rising sun, and rolling land
You walk beside me, You control my fate and thou hath lead
Me here to the world where the raven’s fly
