Ishmael

(albüm: Canterbury - 1983)

Search my heart for things I've done
When dragon's teeth are poised for war
Can we be sure of peace at all
When the spirit moves the world

Wo oh oh oh oh oh
Ishmael, oh Ishmael
Ishmael, oh Ishmael

The prophets blood, we call our own
A pause for thought, come kingdom come
Will you be swords for Gideon
When the spirit moves the world

Wo oh oh oh oh oh
What wrong have I done
Ishmael, oh Ishmael
Ishmael, oh Ishmael

So when the truth has come to pass
And our misdeeds are in the past
Will you again, be moved to ask
When the spirit moves the world

Ooh wo oh oh oh oh
What wrong have I done
Ishmael, oh Ishmael
I hear you well, oh Ishmael...
