about

Seasonal remix of song from the "Songs from the Cupola" album.

lyrics

So the time has begun and the “coming” has come
A carpenter shattered and a priest struck dumb
The joy of my heavens is shared with the world
A light in the darkness, a banner unfurled

Leaving here for the price of a dove
Through your mother’s songs and your mother’s love
You will come to know you are not alone
But you start in a stable and not on a throne.

Chorus
O what a mystery, the fate of this world
Lies with Heaven’s glory and a trembling girl x2

Your heart will know both evil and good
And your lips will taste of the sweat and the blood
Then the joy of heav’n will return to me,
And flood this place again

Chorus
O what a mystery, the fate of this world
Lies with Heaven’s glory and a trembling girl x2

Bridge
A child is born, A son is given
And all who seek him will be forgiven
Come in disguise to a darkened world
A light in the darkness, A banner unfurled

So I wait for the times to be fulfilled
For vindication of the blood to be spilled
Prophets, wise men searched far and near
The child of the promise – is here

Chorus
O what a mystery, the fate of this world
Lies with Heaven’s glory and a trembling girl x2
