Orion's Belt

from One Wiltshire Winter by Archie Atholl

/

lyrics

Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka – the Three Kings
Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka – the Three Kings.

I recall a story told many years ago
About these men, who trusted a prophecy
Enough in their hearts
To follow a star to Bethlehem.

Although the journey was great on foot they
Didn’t complain, they did whatever it took
‘Cause they knew when they finally got there
They’d meet their Saviour.

Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka – the Three Kings.

Today’s wise Magi, in the Winter sky
Show me the way, a guide from the twilight through night
They inspire me to try to do right
Not shield my Light.

Belt of Orion, a carbon copy, of the three scars
I have on my neck
Reminds me despite how hard things may get
My chance to shine’s not over yet.
