LYRICS:
They suspended and committed what made the Tablet to weep, and the Pen to groan,
And the cries of the sincere to break forth, and the tears of the favoured ones to flow"
In the castle of Mahku, looming as the crow flies,
Shade and shadow-land, make your darkest stand
Still the morning star will rise
In the garden of the King, even as the morning-tide
Watch the Nightingale, cast aside His veil, showering gold on everything
All the lights are coming on, all the lights are coming on
Moon and stars one by one, welcoming the dawn
All the lights are coming on
All the lights are coming on, all the lights are coming on
Street-lamps one by one, from the port up to the Shrine
All the lights are coming on
"He Who was the Essence of being, and the Lord of the seen and unseen
They suspended and committed what made the Tablet to weep and the Pen To groan,
And the cries of the sincere to break forth, and the tears of the favoured ones to flow"
They can beat their brows, they can beat their drums, they can beat us up
But they won't beat love And we'll take the bombs, take the guns
Heap them up underneath the sun, and we'll melt them down, have a scene,
Turn them into spoons and into guitar strings, guitar strings
All the lights are coming on, all the lights are coming on
Moon and stars one by one, welcoming the dawn
All the lights are coming on
All the lights are coming on, all the lights are coming on
Street-lamps one by one, from the port up to the Shrine
All the lights are coming on
