    Desert Fathers


    Song Lyrics 

    Desert Fathers


    Hover over me

    You that rendered all

    Sacrificed it all


    I seek you now

    Please intercede


    Your desert haunts

    My soul is gaunt


    Understanding words

    No you start with the silence


    Lost I placed myself

    In heart of things turned teeming


    Pray you alone

    Stay you at home

    Stay thee at peace

    Turmoil shall cease


    Desert Father now you're gone

    At last I hear you


    Desert Father now it's known

    the Search remade me


    No more wretched laughs and idle words none

    No need to do nor believe as they do

    There where dare your heart you will find it now
