Passing of the Night
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.
An eagle down
They clipped his wings
Could not evade
Never did I think that I would fall
In all that time
I never thought
To face this fate
At least I had the chance to say goodbye
As they shackled my hands
And blindfold me on
Spit on me and call me names unknown
All that I want
Is to make it home some day
To return with honor when the night is gone
Passing of the night
On the horizon
Soaring on my flight
Passing of the night
The sun is rising
Soaring on my flight
My soul now rising
The days that go
The years that come
Yet I live on
I hope I have the strength to see it through
They tear my flesh and crush my bones
To starve my heart
The rampant music rips my mind in two
This 3 by 6 foot cell
I'm down on my knees
I lift my voice in prayer up to my god
Hearken unto me
Cast me not away
Send your angels, lord
To set me free
Passing of the night
On the horizon
Soaring on my flight
Passing of the night
The sun is rising
Soaring on my flight
My soul now rising
(Chorus)
