๐ Lyrics
I was born in chains but I was taken out of Egypt
I was bound to a burden, but the burden it was raised
Lord, I can no longer keep this secret
Blessed is the name, the name be praised
I fled to the edge of the mighty sea of sorrow
Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime
But the waters parted and my soul crossed over
Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh's dream
Word of words and the measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
I was idled with my soul, when I heard you could use me
I followed very closely, but my life remained the same
But then you showed me where you had been wounded
In every atom broken is the name
I was alone on the road and your love was so confusing
All my teachers told me, I had myself to blame
But in the grip of sensual illusion
The sweet unknowing unified the name
Word of words, and the measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
I've heard the soul unfolds in the chambers of this longing
And the bitter liquor sweetens in the amber cup
But all the ladders of the night have fallen
Only darkness now, to lift the longing up
Word of words and measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
I was bound to a burden, but the burden it was raised
Lord, I can no longer keep this secret
Blessed is the name, the name be praised
I fled to the edge of the mighty sea of sorrow
Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime
But the waters parted and my soul crossed over
Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh's dream
Word of words and the measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
I was idled with my soul, when I heard you could use me
I followed very closely, but my life remained the same
But then you showed me where you had been wounded
In every atom broken is the name
I was alone on the road and your love was so confusing
All my teachers told me, I had myself to blame
But in the grip of sensual illusion
The sweet unknowing unified the name
Word of words, and the measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
I've heard the soul unfolds in the chambers of this longing
And the bitter liquor sweetens in the amber cup
But all the ladders of the night have fallen
Only darkness now, to lift the longing up
Word of words and measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
