Two Loves

You said to me
The you would see
Greatness, one day

You wanted me to breath your air
Come with you to your despair
Rise with you from the ashes, we strayed

But what was the plan?
To save the souls of man?
The ashes had settled,
And you weren't a man.

Is this what we need?
Is't just to bleed?
Are there no lambs to feed?

...

His spirit walks with me,
On through the night
Why can't I get you to see?

I ran the race
I failed out of gate
Beautiful way to be saved

Unwashed sin, did enter in
But blood more pure than water
Slew the unforgiv'n

..

And in my selfishness, my love,
I wanted only your shadow
Paid no mind to your Form

And I will wait for you, my love;
When you have finally had enough
You'll find me in your shadow

Always to you servant, my love,
I ask no more glory
Than indenture to you

.

If the old ways to preserve,
Must we not preserve each other?
In Shadow I am King;
In Form I am dirt;
So thank Heaven for you
And You, to wash away my tears
And wash away my sins...
