10,000 Days (Wings, Pt. 2)

Listen to the tales and romanticize

How we'd follow the path of the hero

Boast about the day when the rivers overrun

How we'd 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 going to 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 all 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

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 fists at the gates saying

"I've 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

Give me my, give me my

Give me my, give me my wings!

You are the light and 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
