God Bless The Children Lyrics

night comes the mask of the world resolves into round bits of silver on the table round arrow knocked against the bow round fruit devoured by time while the moon climbs sea swells illusion is green in the shallow graves of experience time-centred grave silence reigns over the stars graven image hanging in time while the earth unwinds with rain the world grows us older Lord let us not be lost God bless the children with knowlegde of the cost day comes the hawk of gold springs forth in flame from a highwas paved with diamonds lion ampant on a green field ramparts cracked into the sky while the Christ stands by with pain the world paves us over Lord let us not betray God bless the children with visions of the day
