Smith & Dragoman - The Purest Branch lyrics

Darkness fell, the night was still He paced in prayer, with unswerving will So enraptured heart pure and strong His soul transcends to a world beyond The Purest Branch fell to the ground His body lay scarcely a sound The Holy Leaves caressed the bough And wiped the tears from his bloodstained brow Chorus And he was asked: what is your wish to stay and serve or pa** through the veil? His faint reply: accept my life for those who seek their heart's desire The Blessed Beauty came through the door To see His son, his body torn He turned to go, He knew the end Echoing words Mihdi has gone Chorus And his gentle soul winged his flight as a ransom for us all With the angels rushing to his side, drawn to the light, his gift of sacrifice For all the souls yearning for the sight, just a glimpse of their Beloved one A mother's heart, unconsoled until the words her Beloved told And so it was and always will, sorrow is the lot of His chosen few
