10'000 Days
[00:02.97] We listen to the tales and romanticize,
[00:03.23] How we'd follow the path of the hero.
[00:03.23] Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,
[00:03.72] How we rise to the height of our halo.
[00:03.99] Listen to the tales as we all rationalize,
[00:03.99] Our way into the arms of the savior.
[00:04.23] Feigning all the trials and the tribulations.
[00:04.23] None of us have actually been there,
[00:04.47] Not like you...
[00:04.47] Ignorant siblings in the congregation.
[00:04.72] Gather around spewing sympathy,
[00:04.72] Spare me...
[00:04.98] None of them can even hold a candle up to you.
[00:04.98] Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see.
[00:05.22] But enough about the collective Judas.
[00:05.22] Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
[00:06.23] Your little piece of the divine?
[00:06.47] And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me
[00:06.72] I'm gonna let it shine
[00:06.98] To guide you safely on your way.
[00:06.98] Your way home...
[00:07.24] Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down?
[00:07.24] Without you to guide them all to Zion?
[00:07.50] What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun
[00:07.50] Other than tremble incessantly?
[00:07.76] High is the way,
[00:07.76] But our eyes are upon the ground.
[00:08.02] You are the light and the way.
[00:08.21] They'll only read about.
[00:08.21] I only pray heaven knows,
[00:08.47] When to lift you out.
[00:08.47] 10,000 days in the fire is long enough.
[00:08.73] You're going home...
[00:08.73] You're the only one who can hold your head up high.
[00:08.98] Shake your fist at the gates saying,
[00:08.98] "I've come home now!
[00:09.22] Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father.
[00:09.22] Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
[00:09.55] It's time now!
[00:09.73] My time now!
[00:10.47] Give me my
[00:10.72] Give me my wings!"
[00:10.72] Give me my [5x]
[00:11.01] Give me my wings
[00:11.22] You are the light, the way,
[00:11.22] That they will only read about.
[00:11.47] Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance.
[00:11.47] Burden of proof tossed upon the believers.
[00:11.72] You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
[00:11.72] Judith Marie, unconditional one.
[00:11.97] Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
[00:13.01] Difficult to see you in this light.
[00:13.23] Please forgive this bold suggestion.
[00:13.23] Should you see your maker's face tonight,
[00:13.47] Look him in the eye.
[00:13.47] Look him in the eye and tell him,
[00:13.72] "I never lived a lie, never took a life,
[00:13.72] But surely saved one.
[00:13.97] Hallelujah
[00:14.22] It's time for you to bring me home."
