Glass Hammer When We Were Young


Here I stand And I'm waiting on something Night has fallen on me And the shadows flicker shapes of something I don't want to see

All round, not a sound but my heartbeat All alone, I should have known I am fated so I wait for some certainty I wait for eternity

Came the last night and the watch was his Standing guard at the tomb of a fallen King And he thought to himself as he cried "Oh no! Look what I've done!"

Ever he thought that the spear was the way So by its point he'd heap glory upon himself Like the ancients of Greece and of Rome Slaying dragons and kings

So he found that the spear would fly true Straight to the side of the King of the Universe Poor man, he knows what he's done

Came the last night and sorrow reigned as king The kingdom of his heart A weary broken heart

Angels descend in light Came down to kill the night And then with mighty voices They shout love of their King

All Heaven rising now All Heaven singing now And so the very stars Give voice to the victory song

"Death is defeated Death is defeated Death is defeated Roll away! Roll away! Roll away the stone!"

Here is glory Oh, that the King would give His life That mankind would grow That mankind could know Know Heaven


Sunshine in the morning sky Descending from on high Fierce creatures wrapped in light Their faces burning bright

Our soldier fears the worst Fate has bound him a mighty curse For with glory in his grasp (He slew the thing he sought)

Here stands Love by an empty grave That soldier he seeks to save Is nothing less than every man - every soul Sons of Adam - daughters of Eve

That's why we hear him shout Born to glory, we turn about And face the Final king - and then we make our choice rejoice!
