|
Weary I was walking |
|
A disassembled man |
|
I wandered through creation |
|
A ghost upon the land |
|
Cloaked in threads of all my lifetimes |
|
Deep-stitched into bone |
|
Like a tapestry of shadows |
|
Acid-etched in stone |
|
Longing to remember |
|
The day I left the pyre |
|
And rose up like a phoenix |
|
From a far-off ancient fire |
|
Now I'm homesick for the ashes |
|
Of the world |
|
I've known |
|
On a path toward perdition |
|
That I'll walk alone |
|
Cold night in a quiet town |
|
I found a crowd and stood back as it grew |
|
Echoes of a place in time |
|
When a million voices rose anew |
|
Words of war spread faster than a prairie fire |
|
Through the jaws of heaven here we go |
|
From on high the chosen told |
|
Tales of old the faithful chose to hear |
|
Wake up all your sleeping souls |
|
Gather up your guns the end is near |
|
Words of war spread faster than a prairie fire |
|
Through the jaws of heaven here we go |
|
Marching onto glory in a battle just |
|
Staring down the devil eye to eye |
|
Riding on a pale horse to deliver us |
|
Down into the darkest by and by |
|
I awoke this morning |
|
A lifetime come and gone |
|
The ending of a journey |
|
My destiny at dawn |
|
Yesterday behind me |
|
There is only now |
|
Every circle that was closing |
|
Is opening somehow |
|
And it's clear to see the reasons |
|
Are woven deep in the wondering |
|
Something left to live for |
|
Nothing left to prove |
|
Fallen saints and angels |
|
Watch our every move |
|
Shallow ran the river |
|
That kept our worlds apart |
|
As we fought to feed the hunger |
|
In the hollows of our hearts |
|
Now it's clear to me the reasons |
|
Are woven deep in the wondering |
|
The rain's return reveals a future |
|
A gathering of souls |
|
Once barren fields now green surrounds us |
|
Our dreams of home are whole again |
|
We're whole again |
|
Yesterday behind me |
|
There is only now |
|
Every circle that was closing |
|
Is opening somehow |
|
And it's clear to see the reasons |
|
Are woven deep in the wondering |
