Lyrics Orphaned Land – Vayehi Or

This life is dark and lifeless grey
One stands alone, in life we decay
An uphill struggle every day
We sell our souls, we do betray

Hebrew:
גואל שבור באש מסתור
להב חרבו, מבט עינו טהור

English:
«Broken redeemer in fire hidden
The blade of his sword, pure is his sight»

Romanization:
Goel shavur vaesh mistor
Lahav ḥarbo mabat eno tohor

x2

In the bleak house you do dwell
Heartbeat drowns in the sound of the knell
An hourglass, clock ticking away
Pray to idols the sentence to sway
But know this as you’re lost within you
The crimson touch of hope in sight
Through the veil truth doth shine
Let there be light

Hebrew:
כמוהו בחושך מהלכים אין ספור
תקוות ליבם אחת היא — ויהי אור

English:

Romanization:
Kamohu baḥoshek maheliḥim en spor
Tekvot libam aḥat Hi-Vayehi Or
