Close Your Eyes – Glory lyrics

Hallelujah, glory to man
How great and holy are we
Hallelujah humanity
Who harnessed the sky and harvest the sea

O how!
We hold our idols high
And raise our royal banners to the sky
Our empires rise
And rule over mortal man
The sun never sets on the kingdoms land

Well I've been thinking about our time here
Hallelujah, glory to man
How great and holy are we
Hallelujah humanity
Who harnessed the sky and harvest the sea

They run
As the arrows blot the sun
Another feeble war on earth is won
A mighty king
Meets a bloody end
Another foolish empire rises again

Well I've been thinking our time here
Hallelujah, glory to man
How great and holy are we
Hallelujah humanity
Who harnessed the sky and harvest the sea

The chords of death ring for every man
No power or wealth can stay it's hand
No tower built will pierce the sky
Or idol forged be made divine
Lift up
A living nation
And grant a single sword to thee
From sleep
And from damnation
A flame with faith and free

Look upon this kingdom of men
How weak and fickle are we
Look upon this kingdom of men
Who poison the sky and defile the sea

Hallelujah, glory to God
How great and holy is He
Hallelujah, 'o son of Man
Who created the sky and gave life to the sea
