EMMANUEL AND ELIZABETH song lyrics/Words by Joel Sattler

Born of autumn, fragile as a breath
Living in the shadows like a silhouette
Dreaming of the day that she would come to death
We were so afraid for our Elizabeth

Then came the healer Emmanuel
Said, "Put your faith in me and I'll make her well"
He took her from the grave but put her in his spell
He stole her soul, but how were we to tell

Still, sometimes I hear her again, I hear her cry,
I hear her voice in wind calling,
"Come to me Elizabeth!
You will come to me even yet
The past forget
Just leave it die, don't let it dwell,
And she's replying, "No no Emmanuel! Emmanuel....."

Come to bring the laying on of hands
Speaking languages no one could understand
All of her demons fell at his command
Something in me whispered, "This is not a man!"

Elizabeth was only a child
But when he touched her she became something wild
How could she ever know the world so dark and vile?
I'd give my heart to see again her smile

Still, sometimes I hear her again, I hear her cry,
I hear her voice in wind calling,
"Come to me Elizabeth!
You will come to me even yet
The past forget
Just leave it die, don't let it dwell,
And she's replying, "No no Emmanuel! Emmanuel..."
