Golden Shore

Tell the priest there's nothing you can say or do. Say your heart's been promised to the ocean blue. All your gray won't keep you safe from what's in store. As your journey out toward celestial shores. Bless the crimson sky laid out before the night. Bless the stony cells that made the angel fly Far away from all that does torment your soul Far away from all that made your skin grow cold There before you stretched upon a Golden shore Stands the Emerald city and the Gates of Lord There their guardian stands with this eternal book And the names of all those who one day won't look On the face of him who did create the skies On the face of him with whom eternity lies Take a step now brother look him in the eyes And discover where here your eternity lies
