Holiest of the Holy Men

He was born in darkness

In a haze of snow

And no support available for mother,

So the story goes,

Or so the story goes.

It’s the myth of origin

The holy mound

And in auspicious circumstances

Here comes the chosen one

It’s the boldest behaviour

The greatest of saviours

Holiest of the holy of the holy men

Holiest of the holy of the holy men

And as the parents wept

upon the war torn land

And all the people understood

The power of command

Within his hand

And as the soldiers formed a pyramid of grey

To lift into position

Of commander of the light and day

Of peace and existence

Of war and resistance

One and only:

Holiest of the holy of the holy men

Holiest of the holy of the holy men

Wham! Bam!

To the top

High caldera

Silver stop

I can see things clearly now

I can see the whole peninsula

From here

I will be your saviour

From here on out

From here on out

From here on out

Holiest of the holy of the holy men

Holiest of the holy of the holy men

Holiest of the holy of the holy men

Holiest of the holy of the holy men
