Down to the Alter

[Sung by Eric Fielding Balmer]
Lie on your back
To find direction
The stars are clear
But only flashing
Can't see the hands
That paint the picture
With broad strokes
On canvas light

Genesis
So long ago
Old man will die
Upon his old boat
The womb is dry
The prophets spoke it
And evil in the letter's pen

We go down to the altar
To find the strength we need
I saw the angel passing over me
And we go down to the altar
And fall upon our knees
Sweet angel, sweet angel
Cover me

There is escape
There is escape
From all the marks that we bear
[x3]

And we go down to the altar
To find the strength we need
I saw the angel passing over me
