Lyrics To 'A Man To Keep The Wall' (Dance)
VILLAGERS
(singing, led by Ioh)
O king you sweep away
The Sphinx's song ... our tragedy
We slaves bound in chains —
you made us free
Stranger birthed by God's own breath
From ash you lift our life
You bat the blackbird back to death
Lift us up 'til we slip no more
Rip us away from the god of war
Hell's house too rich with tears and blood
Make our graveyard a land of men
For walls, and towers, ships, they all
Are nothing with no men to keep the wall.
A man to keep the wall
A man to keep the wall
My man to keep the wall!
He, unlearned in wizard's lore,
read her secret,
and she spoke no more.
