Moonlight falls upon the earth 
Casts shadows filled with pain 
Like a torch that burns my home away 
thousand hearts; here, burn them all 
The past turns from stone to wood 
Aflame, my search for lost love 

The blackened sky shrieks hatred at the moon 
Yet I, a feather in the smoke 
Take my harbor in the sun 
Charred to dust, a coal-filled mine of love 
dove rises on her wings 
And charts her course straight into her dream 

Lead me the burning cross of Christ 
Give me water, save my life 
All the earth is bathed in gold 
Through the air my heart is sold to Him 
As His spirit lays me down 
I wish for another time to drown in Your flesh 
Turn the wheel with ageless love 
You on earth and me in heaven above 

Plagued by gunshots all around 
The girl, wounded, goes down 
Bleeds her love into the trees 
Soaks the roots, her tears on fallen leaves 
Rise, o children of the dead 
The spawn of blood now smoke in the air 

From all that dwell below the skies 
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword 
O how our hearts beat with joy 
The heart of Christ still burning bright 
For all that dwell below the skies 
The cross of Christ still burning bright
