Dark Time

What dark time is coming What dark time is here The prophet emerges In garments of fear He calls to his people To come to the feast They gather unto him To wait for release Alleluia Remember the warnings Forget what you're told The heart of the temple Is hollow and cold The face of the prophet Is tired and creased He raises his cup And falls to his knees Come take my body Come take my soul Come take me over I want to be whole Come take my body Come take my soul We stand in a circle We stand in the square The power of numbers The power of prayer The churches are empty The priest has gone home And we are left standing Together alone Come take my body Come take my soul Come take me over I want to be whole Come take my body Come take my soul Come rhythm Come silence Come into our shame The fear has no heart And the fear has no name Come sing alleluia Come sing domine Come sing alleluia Come sing Come take my body Come take my soul Come take me over I want to be whole Come take my body Come take my soul
