fire is the color of my true love's hair near to the father sits his golden chair by prayer and petition to the king on his left light is the burden that i bear o so enchanting are these lovely chains that bind you 'neath their deadly weight the lord's eye did find you with fear and tremblin' before the one with your wounds your eyes as empty as my savior tomb warm is the breath of his holy spirit he who has ears to hear let 'm hear it torn were the hands of the worthy lamb may you know his name and fear it there you are hangin' by the golden rope there you lie no hope
