Lilywhite Lilith (The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 1974)

Текст песни Genesis - Lilywhite Lilith (The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 1974)

[Verse 1]
The chamber was in confusion
All the voices shouting loud
I could only just hear a voice quite near say
"Please help me through the crowd"

[Verse 2]
Said if I helped her through she could help me too
But I could see that she was wholly blind
From her pale face and her pale skin
A moonlight shined

[Chorus]
Lilywhite Lilith
She gonna take you through the tunnel of night
Lilywhite Lilith
She gonna lead you right

[Verse 3]
When I'd led her through the people
The angry noise began to grow
She said, "Let me feel the way the breezes blow
And I'll show you where to go"

[Verse 4]
So I followed her into a big round cave
She said, "They're coming for you, now don't be afraid"
Then she sat me down on a cold stone throne
Carved in jade
[Chorus]
Lilywhite Lilith
She gonna take you through the tunnel of night
Lilywhite Lilith
She gonna lead you right

[Verse 5]
She leaves me in my darkness
I have to face, face my fear
And the darkness closes in on me
I can hear a whirring sound growing near

[Verse 6]
I can see the corner of the tunnel
Lit up by whatever's coming here
Two golden globes float into the room
And a blaze of white light fills the air
