Lilywhite Lilith Lyrics
I could only just hear, a voice quite near say, "Please help me
through the crowd"
'Said if I helped her thru' she could help me too, but I could
see that she was wholly blind.
But from her pale face and her pale skin, a moonlight shined.
She gonna take you thru' the tunnel of night
Lilywhite Lilith,
She gonna lead you right.
She said "Let me feel the way the breezes blow, and I'll show
you where to go."
So I followed her into a big round cave, she said "They're
coming for you, now don't be afraid."
Then she sat me down on a cold stone throne, carved in jade.
She gonna take you thru' the tunnel of night.
Lilywhite Lilith,
She gonna lead you right.
I have to face, face my fear,
And the darkness closes in on me,
I can hear a whirring sound growing near.
I can see the corner of the tunnel,
Lit up by whatever's coming here.
Two golden globes float into the room
And a blaze of white light fills the air.
It is worth noting that Lilywhite and Lilith are the two spiritual opposing ends of the female name Lily. Lilith is traced well back in “mythology” who is the source female demonic entity. Lilywhite is a name and adjective describing purity, truth, and love. Together, the names creates the defining contrast of the woman and her body/mind and its influence onto men both Godly and Lamia. It is quite clear that Peter Gabriel has once again shined with the upmost intellectual and spiritual originations in which she gonna lead you right
Rael losing his virginity?
No, that occurred in an earlier song. In this song, Rael is stuck in a chamber of 32 doors which he can't get out of, and meets a blind woman who says that she can lead him out if he leads her across the room. She keeps her promise and takes him into a cave, where she ultimately abandons him to face his fear of the dark.
