Glory be, Glory be, Glory be, Glory be
Glory be, Glory be, Glory be, Glory be
Come, oh life, beneath the tent of night
Come, beneath the sky of jeweled light
Glory be, Glory be
Glory to the heart's dusk, glory to the heart's state
Come, oh life, beneath the tent of night
Come, beneath the sky of jeweled light
Glory be, Glory be, Glory be, Glory be

Grain by grain, I truly lost my soul
Dancing on embers, the night took hold
Grain by grain, I truly lost my soul
Dancing on embers, the night took hold
I blew away the sleep of my eyes
Counting stars, I burned my fingers' hold
Come, oh life, beneath the tent of night
Come, beneath the sky of jeweled light
Glory to the heart's dusk, glory to the heart's state
Glory to the heart's dusk

Taste now, taste now, this night is honeyed, taste now
Hold now, hold now, this heart is its final boundary, hold now
Dark, dark kohl, is it a dark magic, no?
Dark, dark kohl, is it a dark magic, no?
Come, oh life, beneath the tent of night
Come, beneath the sky of jeweled light
Glory be, Glory be, Glory be, Glory be

Glory be, Glory be, Glory be, Glory be
For so long, for so long, what's held on my lips, speak it
Speak it, yes speak it, now the eyes are lowered, speak it
Such, such bright eyes, are they shining gems of two?
Such, such bright eyes, are they shining gems of two?
Come, oh life, beneath the tent of night
Come, beneath the sky of jeweled light
Glory be, Glory be, Glory be, Glory be
