Gabriel - The Crystalline Effect

Gabriel, is there a place where you are sacred?

Gabriel, is there a place where you can run?

Gabriel, is there a place where you are sacred?

Gabriel, is there a place where you are strong?

I saw the lake, I saw the fire, I saw the sign

I saw something moving out, out of time

And through the voices I heard a single word

Like a scene from the Theatre of the Absurd

I saw you standing outside waiting for a sign

I saw the way that she moved, so sublime

And I knew somehow I would be involved here

Gabriel, you can’t wash your hands of this

There’s no absolution

I saw you slip, I saw you fall

I will tell no-one at all

Gabriel

I am sworn to secrecy, I will never tell

Your secret is safe with me
