Lyrics
[Verse 1]
"Oh thou, who gives sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disc of golden light
That we may know the truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to thy sacred feet"
[Verse 2]
Well I said, "Lily, oh Lily I don't feel safe
I feel that life has blown a great big hole through me"
[Verse 3]
And she said, "Child
You must protect yourself
You can protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"
[Verse 4]
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
[Verse 5]
I said, "Lily, oh, Lily I'm so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Vale of Darkness"
[Verse 6]
And she said, "Child
Take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"
[Verse 7]
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
[Verse 8]
Who's on the left?
Who's on the right? (Gabriel before me)
Woo, woo (Raphael behind me)
That dude on the right (Michael to my right)
Get the devil behind us (Uriel on my left side)
(In the circle of fire)
[Verse 9]
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
