Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the village of the hill, sitting silently at will
Like some prophecy forgotten by an age
With no guns before its gate, the mysterious estate
Lies waiting for it's history dawning page
With the raging of the sea before its height
And the strength of those whom see beyond their sight
[Verse 2]
Oh, the smithies anvil rings and the symphony it sings
No voice nor poet's pen can put to tune
And electric lines of force ring around the humble lives
Of the souls that hear the master saying soon
With the clouds that gather near disturb the night
Striking flashes of a difference, fleeing fright
[Verse 3]
No sleight of tongue nor hand can so boldly there withstand
When the spirit of its truth shall speak with time
And no ignorance of life can be held within the sight
Of the buttresses of ageless binds of time
The communion of the forces take delight
With the fear that no tongues may read nor write
[Verse 4]
A white light
[Verse 5]
Oh, the village of the hill, sitting silently still
With the strength of ages past they're still at hand
Reckons not to look behind, but to look within and find
And to hear of those enlightened by the lamb
With the powers of the wind both fierce and light
And the waters of the storm went through the night
