The ‘O’ Antiphons; "Key of David"

BODY

O key of David and scepter of Israel, what you open no one else can close again; what you close no one can open. O come to lead the captive from prison; free those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.

This one’s one of my favorites… the language is symbolic but there’s a specificity to it. If you aren’t offput by the reference to That Psalm Everybody Quotes.

I think these could be Radiohead lyrics.
