Sits and smiles on the night.

Is my vision's greatest enemy.

Thy heaven doors are my hell gates.

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

Puts all Heaven in a rage.

When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:

Distort the Heavens from pole to pole,
And leads you to believe a lie
When you see with, not thro', the eye.
