Cinder Alley

Lovely lovely carol sue

I see the heel of the father

Crush the head of the serpent for you

An' that beast who found

His way up to your room

You know the one the one

Who's colors are never true

Yeah you do



Yet all the while 'neath

His banner you did stand

'neath the shadow of his wing

Do you remember

Sorrow stands near an' close at hand

Sorrow stands an' in sorrow's hand

The burning ember



He'll come a cinder

Fire call the kettle black

The dark can only hinder it

It will not hold you back

Nor tear you asunder



And the good shepherd

Lo he left all the others

An' went to look for you

Yes an' he did find thee

An' with bruised hands

He did unbind thee

Brought you out

Into the light of day



He'll come a cinder

Fire call the kettle black

The dark can only hinder it

It will not hold you back

Nor tear you asunder



O come and stand with me mother

As we wait for the master's voice

An' head that way together



He'll come a cinder

Fire call the kettle black

The dark can only hinder it

It will not hold you back

Nor tear you asunder
