Kelpius - Tom Chapman, Sylvette

As the rain settles down, a stream forms

It flows through your feet

Leads you down, through the hill

To a gate filled with rust

It is delicate and weak

On the other side, the stream thickens

Now there’s treacle on the bank

On the other side, the stream thickens

Now there’s treacle on the bank

The water led you to a cave

There’s markings on the wall

They speak of th messiah child

That would stumble through their door

Each story seems to b the same

There’s a flood and then he comes

That messiah ends the famine days

When he comes

You can love me when I’m dead

And you will smile as I fall

Now my bones they fill with lead, I’m yours

In the cave a fire burns, men gather

Now they’re kissing the floor

In coloured robes they join the line

To bid farewell to the life they knew before

The piece of rock on which you lie splinters

As your leg shakes with fear

A single pebble, hits the floor, reverberates

Now they know you are near

Their water led you to a cave

Your face is on their shrine

Now you’re the sacred sacrifice

Your blood to them is divine

You can love me when I’m dead

And you will smile as I fall

Now my bones they fill with lead, I’m yours
