Martha, the day has slowed now to a heartbeat Although the earth, it groans I can feel it in the wind all through the valley And the rocks and stones, don't you hear them cry?
They say that darkness has overwhelmed our holy mountain And that the clouds won't rain They just hang heavy as the hands of all the people As they gather things and stay alive Creation sighs

Remind me of a song that somebody played me about the darkest hour And how it lingers only moments til the dawn bleeds Into the eastern morn until it dies In western skies
Home, Lord I am ready to go But where's your fire and your wind? Oh, but you'll come in the way that you please On this mountainside So softly, still
