From the Book of Ezekiel
Lamentation For The Bright One
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Verse 1
Take up a lamentation, they told me, for the one who wore the crown
You sealed the sum of it, wisdom to the brim, and not a single flaw was found
Every jewel was cut and set for you, the sardius and the gold
And Eden held its breath the day they spoke your name into the cold
Pre-Chorus
The pipes were prepared, the tabrets in your hands
On the day, on the very day you were made
(the day you were made)
Chorus
You were perfect in your ways
From the day that you were made
Till it was found in you
Till it was found in you
(nobody put it there)
It grew in the light you wore
Till it was found in you
Till it was found in you
Verse 2
They set you on the mountain, an anointed wing above the throne of flame
You walked the stones of fire like a man who thinks the burning bears his name
But your heart, it rose up on your beauty, and it would not be consoled
And the brightness that they gave you ate the wisdom that it stole
Pre-Chorus
So the pipes fell silent, the tabrets in the dust
On the day, on the very day you fell
(the day you fell)
Chorus
You were perfect in your ways
From the day that you were made
Till it was found in you
Till it was found in you
(nobody put it there)
It grew in the light you wore
Till it was found in you
Till it was found in you
Bridge
The fire never fell from heaven
No, it rose from the midst of you
It rose from the midst of you
And it turned you to ashes on the earth
In the sight of all who knew
(all who knew)
Chorus
You were perfect in your ways
From the day that you were made
Till it was found in you
Till it was found in you
Outro
A terror you became
And never any more
Never any more
(never any more)
