Spirit in the Flesh

[Verse 1]
The candles are lighted, the blades lie there shining
Soon they'l,l do their sacred work again
Covered in linen, fallen in eternal sleep
A body prepared on the table

[Pre-Chorus]
Now life is gone
And the soul has fled to a place that's so far away

[Chorus]
All the things I see, given by the maker's hand
Leave me humble and I stand lost in wonder
It's a perfect alchemy and the undeniable sign
Of a spirit in the flesh so divine (flesh so divine)

[Verse 2]
I met them all, from infant to old man
Opened up their mortal frames so silent
Noble lady, crooked man, orphan child, and centenarian
Look all the same in the inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Their life is gone
And their souls have fled to a place that's so far away

[Chorus]
All outstanding things I see, given by the maker's hand
Leave me humble and I stand lost in wonder
All outstanding things I see, given by the maker's hand
Leave me humble and I stand lost in wonder
It's a perfect alchemy and the undeniable sign
Of a spirit in the flesh so divine

[Bridge]
These studies, discoveries
Will be my gift to mankind

[Chorus]
All outstanding things I see, given by the maker's hand
Leave me humble and I stand lost in wonder
It's a perfect alchemy and the undeniable sign
Of a spirit in the flesh so divine
It's a perfect alchemy and the undeniable sign
Of a spirit in the flesh so divine (flesh so divine)
