lock all the gates

by snowy fields and lanes

she keeps the waiting

in candlelight the sacred

alter shines

he suckled the young lambs

upon his knee

giving the weary sleep in peace

he read the stars inside her dream

but he was blind

of winter's love for spring

she kept the vision

sweet chariots aflame against the sky

he played on the harp sweet melody

children and emperors came to see

he drove the dragons into the nights

but he was blind

so lock all the gates and

bolt the chamber door

because nobody leaves or

enters anymore

now lock all the gates and

bolt the chamber door

would you lock all the

gates and the chamber

come

come

somebody come and lock

all the gates and bolt the chamber

cause nobody leaves or enters anymore

by snowy fields and lanes she

keeps the waiting

in candlelight the sacred alter shines

he suckled the young lambs upon his knee

he bid the weary sleep in peace

he read the stars inside her dream

but he was blind

he was blind
