The Vigil
by Kemper Crabb

Album: Live At Rivendell Cafe

Waiting for flame in the Eye of Night
I am the fuel for Your fire
Light calls ever unto Light
Make me a fleshen pyre
Touch my lips with the altaring coal
Leave your shining upon my soul
Zion shall ever be my goal -
Zion the telling of Light

Scanning the silence with inward ears
Life is a listening
Enfolded in echoes of timeless years
The Word comes whistling
Build my being from Your Throat
Meld my meaning with every note
Wrap me 'round with an aural cloak
That I may truly hear

Drawn toward destiny's darkling kite
Riven by Reality
Riding the Passion to terrible height
Life upon Death's Tree
Cause me to drink from the chalice of Fire
Forge me anew in the heat of Desire
Let me inhabit the Holy Empire
And make war on the armies of Night
