lyrics

In The Temple (Bottle/Darke)

Shibboleth, we left you by the shore
Shibboleth, could there be any more?
Virtually you led us to the light:
Prepared us for the shade
Suddenly you Washed away the night
Until our Home was made

Oh, I don’t want to be alone
I long to be in the Temple
Got to find our way back Home
Then we can be in the Temple

Shibboleth, you lead us to a tree
Shibboleth, another way to be
Gracefully reveal a path to take
And open up the door
Iron in the offerings we make:
For we are broken to our core

Oh, I don’t want to be alone
I long to be in the Temple
Got to Mend our way back Home
Then we can be in the Temple
Mend us...

Shibboleth, you bring us to the cave
Shibboleth, this mystery you gave
Surely that is Venus on the wall
Or a shamanic minotaur
And Churning with the Meanest of them all
Our dear volcanic herbivore

Oh, I don’t want to be alone
I want to be in the Temple
We must wind our way back Home
Then we can be in the Temple
Let’s all go to the Temple...
