Lyrics-
The sun will rise over the mountains
That kept out the light
Unlock the gates of darkness
And free us from the night
Held in fear so long we've forgotten who we are
Claim our identity and follow the Bright and Morning Star

Never before was such a feast assembled
Before my eyes
But it can't reveal the difference between
The truth and the lies
Then Wisdom appeared and she told me not to partake of that bread
For it's made in the house on the path that leads down to the dead -- she said

Come with me Hold fast to my ways
Keep to me For I am length of days
Let me show All for you to know
I will grace your neck and bring freedom to your soul

Because the black cat prowls
Along the edge of my field
I must guard my heart beneath
A breastplate and the shield
Wisdom she calls out from the heights for my embrace
Better than gold or silver is the profit in her face -- she says

Come with me Hold fast to my ways
Keep to me For I am length of days
Drink my wine See my table set before you
This is where to eat and knowledge is your seat yeah
Wisdom she calls out -- she says I will raise my voice

Great to find you here on YouTube, Kurt. Like a needle in a haystack. Really enjoying these songs (I've listened to a couple and will certainly listen to them all). Excellent work.
