Lyrics
intro - pipe organ fade in-holly and divine style, dull distant rhythmic drums, flute, piano
Verse 1
I am the herald with a gentle gaze,
meant to guide another tale.
With words both soft and yet unwavering,
I light her path through misty veil.
Verse 2
Clad not in sorrow, but in quiet strength,
I prepare a welcome bright.
I carry my calling with tender patience,
my shoulders hold sky, not night.
Chorus
Turning from empty flowers,
from amusements that fade too soon.
Oh come, come, great new arrival,
replace my weary eyes with the moon.
Verse 3
I cannot with shadowed spirit
unfold the earth and heart.
To all else my heart is quiet,
only for you I open the start.
Verse 4
I am a week of gentle labor,
you — the seventh day, shining clear.
Herald, be replaced, oh mighty one,
let celebration now draw near.
Chorus
Turning from empty flowers,
from amusements that fade too soon.
Oh come, come, great new arrival,
replace my weary eyes with the moon.
Bridge
I must, sorrowful herald,
yield my way for another’s light.
And forward, in awaiting the meeting,
my gaze reaches, soft and bright.
Final Chorus
Through the haze, through the quiet night,
my path now opens to the glow.
Not for me, but for the coming morning,
the herald steps back, letting it flow.
Outro
I am the herald, yet not broken,
a gentle flame guides what is new.
