Kýrie

I hardly slept last night and this song seemed to be on replay in my mind. Gotta love the 80's! And no, the chorus is not "carry a laser"!

Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrie_(song)] says:

"Kýrie, eléison means "Lord, have mercy" in Greek, and is a part of many liturgical rites in Eastern and Western Christianity. Kýrie, eléison; Christé, eléison; Kýrie, eléison is a prayer that asks "Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy".[1] According to Page the entire song is, essentially, a prayer.[2]"

I never knew that before. I had a time finding it because I didn't know the band or the title or "kyrie elesion" before this morning. Funny, seeing that its Greek!

Kyrie - Mr. Mister

Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison, kyrie

The wind blows hard against this mountain side

Across the sea into my soul

It reaches into where I cannot hide

Setting my feet upon the road

My heart is old, it holds my memories

My body burns a gemlike flame

Somewhere between the soul and soft machine

Is where I find myself again

CHORUS:

Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel

Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night

Kyrie eleison, where I'm going will you follow

Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light

When I was young I thought of growing old

Of what my life would mean to me

Would I have followed down my chosen road

Or only wished what I could be

CHORUS
