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 baby burns agem like flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again

*CHORUS*
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



Oh...Oh...Oh
Oh...Oh...Oh
Oh...Oh...Oh
Oh...Oh...Oh

(repeat to end)


Kyrie Eleison, which means "Lord Have Mercy" is a part of the Catholic Mass or Liturgy, which follows the Act of Penitence. The Catholic Kyrie is, "Lord have mercy; Christ have mercy; Lord have mercy."

Now who knew you were singing about something in a Catholic Liturgy. Be honest in the chorus where they sing Kyrie Eleison you've been singing something different this whole time OR you just sing a sound similar to what they are...sounds the same right? I'm notorious for singing the wrong lyrics I guarantee you I have just recently started singing the right ones to this song. I love to turn it on in my car while other people are in it just to see how they will sing it or what lyrics they have made up for that part.

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about...
