Lily

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 sacret feet

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 (Darkness, 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

Diddly, do-a-do, do-a-do, do-a-do, do dum-dum-dum.

[who's on the left?]
[who's on the right?]

Gabriel before me

[whooo, whoo, whooo]

Raphael behind me

[The devil on the right]

Michael to my right

[Get devil behind us]

Uriel on my left side

[Get devil out na na na]

In the circle of fire

[Get them out to the right]

Oh Oh, Gabriel before me

[Whooo, whooo, whooo]

Oh Oh, Raphael behind me

[Get them on the right]

Michael to my right

[Get them on the right]

Uriel on my left side

[Wow]

In the circle of fire

[Whooo, wow]
