Closing Eyes

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
