I Must Be Gone - Sabbath Assembly

I must be gone

There is a grave

Where the lilies and daffodils wave

Please do not stand

At my grave and weep

I am not there nor do I sleep

It’s you it’s you it’s all for you

Everything I do is for your life

It’s you for you it’s all for you

Please do not stand at my grave and cry

I am the one

Wind that blows I am the diamond glints upon the snow

'Tis I the sun

On ripened grain

And now it comes, the gentle Autumn rain

When you awake in the morning hush

I am the swift uplifting rush of flight

See the soft stars shine at night

Please do not stand at my grave and cry

I am not there

I did not die

My Spirit is still alive

Smash my heart three-person'd god

That I may rise and bend your force to make me new

Dearly how I love you all, and how I beg requite

But I’m betrothed unto your enemy

Divorce me, untie me, and break me, you’ve locked me in chains

A sudden blow, wings beating still, I feel your heart pounding on me

Oh God let me remember you the way that you were before I died

I must be gone, you can’t see me

But please don’t stand at my grave and cry

Oh God let me remember you the way that you were before I died
