Lyrics
The Leader
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
For a sign, a light in the sky,
Oh the message is clear, that the time is near,
For a leader to come again;
A circle of stones on the head of a hill,
Tonight is where it will be,
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,
For a leader to come again, yes a leader will come again,
For it is written, that a leader will be here,
And then a vision, left me blinded by the light,
And it started right in front of my eyes...
