Reuben, Judah, Levi and Benjamin
Called into being at the beginning of creation
The roar, the whisper, the first, the last
The tribes from eternity and not the past
Joseph, Zebulun, Gad and Dan
He wrote the names of every woman and man
The blessed, the anointed, the nations, the kin
Scattered generations yet never shall dim
Naphtali, Asher, Simeon and Issachar
Through the bloodlines and here we are
The Word, the prophets, the Lord, the Spirit
Revelations over ages for those that inherit
The throne, the crown, the king, the decree
Made for the blind who are destined to see
Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin
The watchman weighs the oil jars in
