O the dragons are gonna fly tonight They're circling low and inside tonight It's another round in the losing fight Out along the great divide tonight We are aging soldiers in an ancient war Seeking out some half remembered shore We drink our fill and still we thirst for more Asking if there's no heaven what is this hunger for? Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod We lift up our prayer against the odds And fear the silence is the voice of God And we cry Allelujah Allelujah We cry Allelujah Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief The seasons come and bring no sweet relief Time is a brutal but a careless thief Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief It is the heart that kills us in the end Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend As it was now and ever shall be amen And we cry Allelujah Allelujah We cry Allelujah So there'll be no guiding light for you and me We are not sailors lost out on the sea We were always headed toward eternity Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled Down through the long loneliness of the world Until we behold the pain become the pearl Cryin´ Allelujah Allelujah We cry Allelujah And we cry Allelujah Allelujah We cry Allelujah
