Lyrics

Intro

Choir

She who walketh apart

She who walketh apart

What they could not name

What they could not name

Verse

She gathered herbs where no man dared to tread

She spoke to wind and river, stone and dead

They watched from doors with fearful narrow eyes

And cast out what they could not recognise

(Could not recognise, could not recognise)

(What they could not hold)

Chorus

Choir

What they could not name they cast aside

What they could not hold they chose to hide

Fear made the stranger of the wise

Cast down thine fear and open thine eyes

(Open thine eyes, open thine eyes)

Verse

She healed the sick when learned men had failed

She read the sky when all their knowledge paled

Yet still they gathered, pointed, turned away

This ancient blindness walketh still today

(Walketh still today, walketh still today)

(Still today, still today)

Chorus

Choir

What they could not name they cast aside

What they could not hold they chose to hide

Fear made the stranger of the wise

Cast down thine fear and open thine eyes

(Open thine eyes, open thine eyes)

Break

Choir

Look beyond the name they gave her

Look beyond the tale they made

She was never what they named her

She was never what they feared

(Never what they feared)

(Never, never)

Build

The same fear walketh still in different skin

The same door closed before she enters in

But wisdom hath no gender, age nor face

And beauty dwelleth in the strangest place

(Strangest place, strangest place)

(Dwelleth still, dwelleth still)

Drop

Choir

CAST DOWN THINE FEAR AND BEHOLD

CAST DOWN THINE FEAR AND BEHOLD

See the beauty she doth hold

Ancient, present, brave and bold

(Behold, behold)

(Cast down thine fear)

Chorus

Choir

What they could not name they cast aside

What they could not hold they chose to hide

Fear made the stranger of the wise

Cast down thine fear and open thine eyes

(Open thine eyes, open thine eyes)

Outro

Choir

Open thine eyes

Open thine eyes

And behold...

And behold...

(Behold... behold... behold...)

Spoken
