Above the Desert Sea

Eyes ablaze

The knife held high above your

Head is framed against the constellations

While my back is splayed upon this altar

Might you just reveal where this is headed?

I brought you to this pinnacle

The height above the desert sea

To wash away the blemishes

In burning holy offering

I know you came from me

Your blood is in these veins

I know you came from me

There can be no other way

Yes, relent, transcend

Reverse this madness

Call to mind the curse

The pain that’s promised

Search within and admit

You cannot do this

Wait, reflect, recall

When she was barren?

You, my only progeny

My tears may never ever cease

I long to give you sweet release

But I cannot disobey

Stay your steel and sheath the dagger

You have shown this day

Belief beyond your reason

Gaze above and count

Those lights, my heavens

You gave his life

Your wage is endless

To trust is to obey
