Kyrie Eleison

"Lord Have Mercy, Down the Road that I must travel!"

 

 

"Kyrie Eleison" is Greek for "Lord, have mercy." It is used as a prayer in both Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox services. Greek was the original language of the New Testament and it was later translated in to Latin.

 

 

A slight move into the future you could say with a 1980's hit

 

 

Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison, kyrie

 

The wind blows hard against this mountain side,

across the sea into my soul

It reaches into where I cannot hide,

setting my feet upon the road

 

My heart is old, it holds my memories,

my body burns a gemlike flame

Somewhere between the soul and soft machine,

is where I find myself again

 

Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel

Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night

Kyrie eleison, where I'm going will you follow

Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light

 

When I was young I thought of growing old,

of what my life would mean to me

Would I have followed down my chosen road,

or only wished what I could be

 

Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel

Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night

Kyrie eleison, where I'm going will you follow

Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light

 

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

 

Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel

Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night

Kyrie eleison, where I'm going will you follow

Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
