Lyrics

The Image Over The Head
© All rights reserved by Issachar Tal van Kekem

An image over the head of each living being
The sky like a dome of awesome ice
For all, day and night, to be seeing
Worthy of every sacrifice!

Chorus:
Who is the living being?
Wo alone is seeing?
The one that is enlightened
Before, in darkness, frightened
But by now, his soul has ripened
Now the Radiance is his daily stipend

Shlomo the king had his men bring
Cedars from the Levanon
With those he had them build
On the holiest Jerusalem hill
God’s goodness-dispersing pavilion

Fortunate is the one, who considers the poor
He will readily shine and radiate
Enabled to retreat and contemplate
The pavilion’s internal, intrinsic, grandeur

An image over the head of each living being
The sky like a dome, unbreakable ice
For all judgment to be seeing
Softened, melted, only by willing sacrifice
