Lyrics

I was born in chains
But I was taken out of egypt
I was bound to a burden
But the burden it was razed
Lord, I can no longer
Keep this secret
Blessed is the name
The name be praised
I fled to the edge
Of the majesty of sorrow
Her suit by the riders
Oh, the cruel and dark regime
But the waters parted
And my soul crossed over
Out of Egypt
Out of Pharaoh’s dream
Word of words
Immeasurable measure
Blessed is the name
The name be blessed
Written on my heart
In burning letters
That’s all I know
I cannot read the rest
I was idle against my soul
When I heard you could use me I followed very closely
But my life remained the same
But then you showed me What you had been moved
In every atom
Broken his name
I was alone on the road
And your love was so confusing
All my teachers told me I had myself to blame
But in the grip of Sensual illusion
A sweet unknowing
Unified the name
Word of words
Immeasurable measure
Blessed is the name
The name be blessed
Written on my heart
In burning letters
That’s all I know
I cannot read the rest
I’ve heard the soul unfolds
In the chambers of its longing
And the bitter liquor sweetens
In the hammer cup
And all the ladders of Of the night of honor
Only darkness now
To lift the longing up Word of words
Immeasurable measure
Blessed is the name
The name be blessed
Written on my heart
In burning letters
That’s all I know
I cannot read the rest
