Secret South



Cinder Alley





lovely lovely carol sue



i see the heel of the father



crush the head of the serpent for you



an' that beast who found



his way up to your room



you know the one the one



who's colors are never true



yeah you do







yet all the while 'neath



his banner you did stand



'neath the shadow of his wing



do you remember



sorrow stands near an' close at hand



sorrow stands an' in sorrow's hand



the burning ember







he'll come a cinder



fire call the kettle black



the dark can only hinder it



it will not hold you back



nor tear you asunder







and the good shepherd



lo he left all the others



an' went to look for you



yes an' he did find thee



an' with bruised hands



he did unbind thee



brought you out



into the light of day







he'll come a cinder



fire call the kettle black



the dark can only hinder it



it will not hold you back



nor tear you asunder







o come and stand with me mother



as we wait for the master's voice



an' head that way together







he'll come a cinder



fire call the kettle black



the dark can only hinder it



it will not hold you back



nor tear you asunder
