Lyrics:
1.
Filled to the brim with sun's light,
I was dozing off under a canopy of vines.
But arms the color of bronze,
Diverted me from my dreams.

A breeze from the sea
Was muttering an old tune.
I was placed into baskets
And carried down the hill.

I was placed into baskets
And carried down the hill!

2.
Barely visible under its burden,
A donkey was stumping - clippety-clop.
Thus on a donkey I entered
The cheering town.

In his arms and with a prayer
A priest carried me to the altar
And with the Holy Water
He sprinkled my amber flesh.

And with the Holy Water
He sprinkled my amber flesh!

Chorus:
Hallelujah, miracle, Mother Mary!
Hallelujah, miracle, Saint Sebastian!
Hallelujah, miracle, Mother Mary!
Hallelujah, miracle, Saint Sebastian!

3.
And then I was thrown into a vessel
Resembling a ship.
And they danced and they crushed
My amber flesh.

And they danced and they crushed
My amber flesh.
They have harrowed and killed
My beautiful flesh!

Under the pressman's heel
My life was being shattered.
And blood was boiling like a river,
Spilling over the edges.

Oh, what torment, Mother Mary!
Oh, what suffering, Saint Sebastian!
Oh, what torment, Mother Mary!
Oh, what suffering, Saint Sebastian!

4.
Released from the flesh,
I was summoned to a stern judgment.
The spirit, kindled in my blood,
Was sealed into a vessel.

Long years in a stone vault
Under monastery's walls.
My amber blood
Turning into ice and fire.

My amber blood
Turning into ice and fire.

Years without light, Mother Mary!
Years in the darkness, Saint Sebastian!

Years without light, Mother Mary!
Years in the darkness!

5.
Unlocking the Gates of Dusk,
The underground vault was entered
By two shining prelates
Who bowed down to the ground.

Thunder crashed down from the bell tower.
Into the Light's Chalice spilled
Rising above the altar
The holy blood of Christ.

Rising above the altar
The holy blood of Christ!

6.
And the grieving and those gone astray
I invite to a feast.
I am forever hypostatic
To That who created this world.

7.
Overflowing with love,
Radiating from the altar.
Chalice with the True Blood -
Blood the color of amber.

Chorus:
Oh, what joy, Mother Mary!
What bliss, Saint Sebastian!
Oh, what joy, Mother Mary!
What bliss, Saint Sebastian!
