Above the Desert Sea

Eyes ablaze
 The knife held high above your
 Head is framed against the constellations
 While my back is splayed upon this altar
 Might you just reveal where this is headed?
 I brought you to this pinnacle
 The height above the desert sea
 To wash away the blemishes
 In burning holy offering
 I know you came from me
 Your blood is in these veins
 I know you came from me
 There can be no other way
 Yes, relent, transcend
 Reverse this madness
 Call to mind the curse
 The pain that's promised
 Search within and admit
 You cannot do this
 Wait, reflect, recall
 When she was barren?
 You, my only progeny
 My tears may never ever cease
 I long to give you sweet release
 But I cannot disobey
 I know you came from me
 Your blood is in these veins
 I know you came from me
 There can be no other way
 Stay your steel and sheath the dagger
 You have shown this day
 Belief beyond your reason
 Gaze above and count
 Those lights my heavens
 So you gave his life
 Your wage is endless
 To trust is to obey
 I know you came from me
 To trust is to obey
 I know you came from me
 To trust is to obey
 I know you came from me
 To trust is to obey
 I know you came from me
 To trust is to obey
 To trust is to obey
 To trust is to obey
 To trust is to obey
 To trust is to obey
 To trust is to obey
 To trust is to obey
 To trust is to obey
 To trust is to obey
