Lily

Oh thou, who givest sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disc of golden light
That we may know the TRUTH
And do our WHOLE duty
As we journey to thy sacret feet

Well I said "Lily,
Oh Lily I don't feel safe
I feel like life has blown a great big hole through me"
And she said,
"Child, you must protect yourself
You can protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"

Oh Oh, Gabriel before me
Oh Oh, Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

I said "Lily,
Oh Lily I'm so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness"
And she said
"Child, take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"

Grrrrr
This is my space

[cigarettes...cigarettes]
Oh, Gabriel before me
Ooh
Oh, Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

Oh Oh, Gabriel before me
Yo
[Yo cigarettes]
Oh Oh, Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
