Salem Hill - The Judgement lyrics

I dreamed of the judgment and saw the polar regions the cold smug lips of the evil one loomed hungry in dark caverns grey the mournful eyes of the father were vainly searching for someone a humble penitent perhaps a resident I dreamed of the judgment and glimpsed the faceless faces the wasted hulls of the desperate emblazoned in dark caverns grey and those of confident countenance more than conquerors ransomed peculiar golden hues conspicuously few I walked with numerous goats with weeping and wailing and empty apologies drops trying to stop in an ocean of motion herded along towards promised rewards a river of lightning divided the sky for whom I can't tell but I started to cry the heavens the tempest raged brighter than man I ask myself what is man I ask myself what is sin and who denies that history decides who is the k**er and who is the king and is there a standard by which we can measure if taking a life is a terrible thing I dreamed of the judgment and felt the breath of wisdom and on a tree was a mystery with nails etched deeper than dreams and though the message was simple so many felt it was nonsense and I admit at first it seemed a useless verse I dreamed of the judgment to me a revelation and truths which years had forgotten were girded about me in gold and resignation took effort for pride is slow to surrender and what did the tree tell we're not here for ourselves
