10,000 Days (Pt. 2) Lyrics

edit | print 
Listen to the tales and romanticize
How we follow the path of the hero
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
How we rised 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
Ignorant flippants in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy
Spare me
None of them can even hold a candle up to you
Blinded by choices hypocrites won't seek
But enough about the collective Judas'
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
My little piece of the divine
This little light of mine
The gift you passed onto me
i'll let it shine
To guide you safely on your way
Your way home
What are they going to do when the lights go down
Without you guide them home to Zion
What are they going to do when the river is overrun
Other than tremble incessantly
High is the way but our eyes are up on the ground
You were the light and the way, that they will only read about
I only pray, heaven knows when to lift you out
Ten thousand 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
Give me my wings
You are the light and the way
That they will only read about
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
Burning all through tossed upon non-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 them in the eye
Look them in the eye, and tell them
i never lived a lie, never took a life
But surely saved one, hallelujah
it's time for you to bring me home
Love this song? Put this box on your blog!
