[Intro: Lily Cornford] "O Thou who givest sustenance to the universe From whom all things proceed To whom all things return Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun Hidden by a disc of golden light That we may know the truth And do our whole duty As we journey to Thy sacred feet" [Verse 1: Kate Bush] Well I said, "Lily, oh Lily, I don't feel safe I feel that life has blown a great big hole through me" [Pre-Chorus: Kate Bush] And she said, "Child You must protect yourself You can protect yourself I'll show you how with fire" [Chorus: Kate Bush] Ooh-ooh Gabriel before me Ooh-ooh Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left sidе In the circle of fire [Verse 2: Kate Bush] I said, "Lily, oh Lily, I'm so afraid I fеar I am walking in the veil of darkness" [Pre-Chorus: Kate Bush] And she said, "Child Take what I say With a pinch of salt And protect yourself with fire" [Chorus: Kate Bush] Ooh-ooh Gabriel before me Ooh-ooh Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire [Bridge: Kate Bush] And this is my space [Chorus: Kate Bush] Ooh-ooh Gabriel before me Ooh-ooh Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire Ooh-ooh Gabriel before me Ooh-ooh Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire
