10,000 Days

listen to the tales and romanticize 
how we follow the path of the hero 


and boast about the day when the rivers overrun 
how we rise to the height of our halo 


listen to the tales as we irrationalize 
Our way into the arms of the savior 
failing all the trials and the tribulations 


none of us have actually been there 
not like you 


the ignorant fit within the congregation 
gather around spewing sympathy 
spare me 


none of them could even hold a candle up to you 
blinded by choices hypocrites 
wont see 


but nothing but the collective juries 
who could deny you were the one who illuminated 
your little piece of the divine 


this little light of mine 
the gift you passed on to me 
i'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way 


your way home 


what are they going to do when the light goes down 
without you 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 were 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 sayin' 
"i have come home now fetch me the spirit, the son and the father, 
tell them their pillar of faith has ascended 


"its time now, my time now, give me my, give me my wings!" 


"give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my, 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 
burning (??? upon the believers 
you were my witness, my eyes, my evidence 
judith marie, unconditional one 


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 
never lived a lie, never took a life 
would surely save one 
and in the hour (??) 
its time for you to bring me home
