Charles Ives - On Judges' Walk lyrics
[Charles Ives - On Judges' Walk lyrics]
That night on Judges' Walk, the wind
Was as the voice of doom
The Heath, a lake of darkness, lay
Silent as the tomb
The vast night brooded, white with stars
Above the world's unrest
The awfulness of silence ached
Like a strong heart repressed
That night on Judges' Walk
We walked beneath the trees
There was a word we could not say
Half uttered in the breeze
That night on Judges' Walk we said
No word at all
And now no word shall e'er be said
Before the Judgment Day
Was as the voice of doom
The Heath, a lake of darkness, lay
Silent as the tomb
The vast night brooded, white with stars
Above the world's unrest
The awfulness of silence ached
Like a strong heart repressed
That night on Judges' Walk
We walked beneath the trees
There was a word we could not say
Half uttered in the breeze
That night on Judges' Walk we said
No word at all
And now no word shall e'er be said
Before the Judgment Day
