Closing Eyes - In Strict Confidence

Floating hair

Eclipses the air

Resounding voices

Moves the skies

Their rising bodies

Flood the land

The trump of doom

Fortells the end

Breathless flight

The turn of tide

The burning stars

Inflame the night

And glowing rain

From frozen skies

The prophets bleed

And Jesus cries

Kingdoms fall

When they embrace the night

And oceans burn

Where they begin to fight

Storms bow down

Before their gracious sight

They take your dreams

Behind their closing eyes

Seasons are changing

When they leave

And dew is falling

When they grieve

The damned raise

When they appear

And fallen sinners

Die from fear

Heaven is mourning

When they’re falling

Birds assemble

When they’re calling

Whispering winds

Refresh their scars

And heroes praise

Their fearless hearts

Kingdoms fall

When they embrace the night

And oceans burn

Where they begin to fight

Storms bow down

Before their gracious sight

They take your dreams

Behind their closing eyes

They turn their faces

Down to fading mother earth

And their snowcapped wings

Veil the world in darkness

They take with them

All our thoughts and words and tears

And our dreams are kept

Behind their closing eyes

Kingdoms fall

When they embrace the night

And oceans burn

Where they begin to fight

Storms bow down

Before their gracious sight

They take your dreams

Behind their closing eyes
