Lily Lyrics
Kate Bush
Oh thou, who givest sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disc of golden light
That we may know the truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to thy sacred feet
Well I said
Lily, oh lily I dont feel safe
I feel that life has blown a great big hole
Through me
And she said
Child, you must protect yourself
Ill show you how with fire
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
I said
Lily, oh lily Im so afraid
I fear I am walking in the veil of darkness
And she said
Child, take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
