We listen to the tales and romanticize,
|
how we follow the path of the hero.
|
|
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,
|
How we'll rise to the height of our halo.
|
|
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize,
|
our way into the arms of the savior.
|
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations.
|
|
None of us have actually been there,
|
Not like you...
|
|
Ignorant siblings in the congregation.
|
Gather around spewing sympathy,
|
Spare me...
|
|
None of them can even hold a candle up to you.
|
Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see.
|
|
But enough about the collective Judas.
|
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated?
|
Your little piece of the divine.
|
|
And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me
|
I'm gonna let it shine
|
to guide you safely on your way.
|
|
Your way home...
|
|
Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down?
|
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
|
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun?
|
Other than tremble incessantly.
|
|
High is the way,
|
but our eyes are upon the ground.
|
You are the light and the way.
|
They'll only read about.
|
I only pray heaven knows,
|
when to lift you out.
|
|
10,000 days in the fire is long enough.
|
You're going home...
|
|
You're the only one who can hold your head up high.
|
Shake your fist at the gates saying,
|
"I have come home now...!"
|
Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father.
|
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
|
|
"It's time now!
|
My time now!
|
Give me my
|
Give me my wings...!"
|
|
Give me my [x5]
|
|
(Give me my wings)
|
|
You are the light, the way,
|
that they will only read about.
|
|
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance.
|
Burden of proof tossed upon the believers.
|
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
|
Judith Marie, unconditional one.
|
|
Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
|
Difficult to see you in this light.
|
Please forgive this bold suggestion.
|
Should you see your maker's face tonight,
|
Look him in the eye.
|
Look him in the eye and tell him,
|
I never lived a lie, never took a life,
|
But surely saved one.
|
|
Hallelujah
|
It's time for you to bring me home.
