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
Fading all the trials and the tribulations
None of us have actually been there
Not like you
The ignorant fibbers in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy
Spare me
None of them could even hold a candle up to you
Blinded by choices, 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
This little light of mine it gives your past unto me
I'll let it shine
to guide you safely on your way
Your way home
Ohh, 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 as a wave
But I'll rise on up off the ground
You are the light and the way
They'll only read about
I only pray heaven knows
When to lift you out
10000 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 (5x)
"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 non-believers
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
Judith Marie, her condition won
Daylight dims leaving cool flourescence
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
Hallejullah
It's time for you to bring me home
