Act One - Lily Songtext
von Kate Bush

Oh thou, who givest sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disc of golden light
That we may know the truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to thy sacred feet

Good evening!

Well I said
"Lily, Oh Lily I don′t feel safe
I feel like life has blown a great big hole
Through me"
And she said
"Child, you must protect yourself
You must protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"


Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

I said
"Lily, Oh Lily I′m so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness"
And she said
"Child, take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"

Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

D-d-ya-n-da, da-n-da, da-n-da, da-da-da-do
(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh)


Who's on the left?
Who's on the right?
(Gabriel before me)
Woo, woo, woo
(Raphael behind me)
That devil at the right
(Michael to my right)
Get the devil to our left
(Uriel on my left side)
(In the circle of fire)
Michael here in the right

Gabriel before me
Woo, woo, woo
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
Put your angels up there
And put them all around us

Oh, thank you. Thank you
What a lovely welcome
Thank you
