First Light Lyrics by Bob Carpenter (CAN)

Silent Passage

1984

Far across the windy wave ocean
On a ship prepared for any weather
We sailed upon the sea
The magic ship and me
From the coast of where I’ve been
To where I think I’d rather be
In the first light of morning
An army I have gathered
Beneath the great mountain
Where all men have fallen
Where Christ was a soldier
Soon to be forgotten
And I have come with sword and heavy armor
Where he was dressed in wonder
And I have come to search for just an hour
Where he is down forever
The road is buried in tradition
The earth has lost another
She claims to be our mother
But she’s just the eldest daughter
And her power is the mind
And the craving of the body
And she has me but the war is just beginning
My father stands before me
She has me but I’m bound that I’ll be living
I know he won’t ignore me
Instrumental
In the first light of morning
An army I have gathered
Beneath the great mountain
Where all men have fallen
Where Christ was a soldier
Soon to be forgotten
And I have come with sword and heavy armor
Where he was dressed in wonder
And I have come to search for just an hour
Where he is down forever
Instrumental
Far across the windy wave ocean
On a ship prepared for any weather
We sailed upon the sea
The magic ship and me
From the coast of where I’ve been
To where I think I’d rather be
