Stygian Hand Lyrics by Jethro Tull

Curious Ruminant

0

Cobbled road, cobbled way, dark as pitch, grey mist swirling
\nSomething lightly treading, this way comes
\nCould be the bobby on his beat, torch probe a-curling
\nAlong the dead-end alley between the slums
\n
\nCrash! The Stygian hand, against my brow
\nUnholy tempter, with confrontation face
\nI proffer cross of comfort, defiant exorcism
\nNo starting gun to join this hoary devil's race
\n
\nSymbol of faith, symbol of sacrifice
\nIcon of glory, graven in gold
\nAlpha, Omega, and all things between
\nStrength to the bearer, good grace to behold
\n
\nGlimpse of peace and grasp of last hope divine
\nIn the gathering dusk, when nightlights dim
\nGive firm resolve in times of desperation
\nAs spectral visitants in life's dark corridor swim
\n
\nSymbol of faith, symbol of sacrifice
\nIcon of glory, graven in gold
\nAlpha, Omega, and all things between
\nStrength to the bearer, good grace to behold
\n
\nCobbled roadway, dark as pitch, grey mist swirling
\nSomething lightly treading, this way comes
\nCould be the bobby on his beat, torch probe a-curling
\nAlong the dead-end alley between the slums
\n
\nCrash! The Stygian hand, against my brow
\nUnholy tempter, with confrontation face
\nI proffer cross of comfort, defiant exorcism
\nNo starting gun to join this hoary devil's race\n\n
