lyrics

Sampson couldn’t see what he would become
He knew she could
Sampson wouldn’t be the king who beat the drum
With fire and wood

Fire in the sky, Lord, you come to me when I need you most
Fire in my eye, Lord, she comes to me in the form of a ghost

Could you close my eyes?
Could you give me time?
I could ease your mind
Sampson’s doing fine

He would love to see Violet once again
A queen on the rail
Light, unveil the King, a multitude will wait
To see who we’ll hail

Sampson, with the crowd, could never tell her so
In his feeble voice
So we’ll sing it loud, he was meant for her
But she had no choice

Could you close my eyes?
Could you give me time?
I could ease your mind
Sampson’s doing fine
