| Out of the north comes golden splendor
|
| Clothed in terrible majesty
|
| The Almighty, indescribable one
|
| Far beyond our reach
|
| Unmatched in power and justice
|
| All men should fear
|
| For he shows no favor
|
| To those who are wise in their own hearts
|
| Who is this who darkens counsel
|
| Without knowledge, who are you
|
| When I laid the Earth’s foundations
|
| Tell me, where were you
|
| Was it you who shaped the oceans
|
| Decided where they meet the land
|
| Who is this who darkens counsel
|
| Without knowledge, make your stand
|
| Can you command the constellations
|
| Bind the chains of the Pleiades
|
| Or loose the cords of Orion
|
| Was it you who made these
|
| Who are you to question
|
| Can you navigate the labyrinth of the deep
|
| Have you seen the gates of darkness
|
| The gates of death
|
| Will creature call creator to the stand
|
| As he holds all of existence in his hand
|
| Speak up, make your charge
|
| Tell me, who you are
|
| Who dares to question justice to his face
|
| Let the accuser stand and make his case
|
| I’m waiting, the floor is yours
|
| Answer me
|
| Behold, I am nothing
|
| And I’ve nothing left to say
|
| So I will cover my mouth
|
| And no more words will come out
|
| I know you can do all things
|
| No purpose of yours can be thwarted
|
| I said things I don’t understand
|
| Too wonderful to know
|
| Therefore I despise myself
|
| And repent in dust and ashes
|
| From the fury of the whirlwind
|
| I alone bring down the prideful
|
| Crush the wicked beneath my feet
|
| Hide them all in the dust
|
| Bind their faces in the world below
|
| Have you walked to where the clouds dwell
|
| You ever called down the rain
|
| Raised your voice unto the heavens
|
| To summon thunder and lightning
|
| I alone bring down the prideful
|
| Crush the wicked beneath my feet
|
| Hide them all in the dust
|
| Bind their faces in the world below
|
| You said, «Listen and I will speak;
|
| I will question and you shall answer»
|
| My ears had heard of you
|
| But now my eyes have seen |
