Spirit in the Flesh lyrics

The candles are lighted, the blades lie there shining

Soon they'l,l do their sacred work again

Covered in linen, fallen in eternal sleep

A body prepared on the table

Now life is gone

And the soul has fled to a place that's so far away

All the things I see, given by the maker's hand

Leave me humble and I stand lost in wonder

It's a perfect alchemy and the undeniable sign

Of a spirit in the flesh so divine (flesh so divine)

I met them all, from infant to old man

Opened up their mortal frames so silent

Noble lady, crooked man, orphan child, and centenarian

Look all the same in the inside

Their life is gone

And their souls have fled to a place that's so far away

All outstanding things I see, given by the maker's hand

Leave me humble and I stand lost in wonder

All outstanding things I see, given by the maker's hand

Leave me humble and I stand lost in wonder

It's a perfect alchemy and the undeniable sign

Of a spirit in the flesh so divine

These studies, discoveries

Will be my gift to mankind

All outstanding things I see, given by the maker's hand

Leave me humble and I stand lost in wonder

It's a perfect alchemy and the undeniable sign

Of a spirit in the flesh so divine

It's a perfect alchemy and the undeniable sign

Of a spirit in the flesh so divine (flesh so divine)
