Tale of the Times Lyrics by Terry Talbot

Cradle of Love

0

Deep in a dream
I saw and now sing
A tale of the times that have risen
Emmanuel was there
He said go now and share
The song, the word and the vision
Now there I did find
I could see through the mind
Of a man who was once a believer
To whom the church was no more
Than a shell with a door to pass through
For it was time to leave her
For the world has gone crazy
With cannon she rung
The stained glass fell too fast to hide us
And the ones who'd confessed
Messiah had come
Disappearеd or were dyin'
And the soldiеrs were marchin'
So loudly I hear
Their boot heels snap and click
And upon their fine uniforms
Numbers quite clear readin' 666
The chosen ones around me
Were escorted away
As their names on the list were encountered
Ooh, the prisons they filled
And their blood there was spilled
But they sang Hallelujah still louder
And though tortured and tried
Some still survived
Their hearts sailed on light as a feather
And when the love they have known
Came to take them all home
Before our eyes they just flew by together
And the ones left behind
Were locked in the mind
Of a man who was once a believer
And the beast they'd embraced
Had taken the place of the church
How they longed now to see her
The song has been sung
The bell has been rung
For who'er you be where you stand
Take the Spirit in heart
Let your doorpost be marked
For the time it is comin'
It is now at hand
