A Divine Sunset

We went to meet
Without planning our stunt
And to my surprise
Acrobats don't hide

High up in the sky
She laid claim
On the wings of fire
Balanced on a highwire

We looked out east
At the long risen day
Where trouble burned
And the weary world turned

In an urgent daze
I spun to a stop
Asserting such control
I no longer had a role

There's catharsis she said
In the setting sun
If you give yourself up
To hear the scent of love

There's only one way
To reach the promised land
To take that golden face
And lay it in my hand

How did I wind up like this?
In an hour so severe
It was spiritual combat
On the city battlefield

How did I find reality?
Without this woman so serene
It was a vision of justice
Taken from a god given dream

Not today, not this time
No more
But for us, it's tonight
That's for sure

We saw hell over there
But it's no more
And as we take the plunge
We know exactly who it's for

There's catharsis she said
In the setting sun
If you give yourself up
To hear the scent of love

There's only one way
To reach the promised land
To take that golden face
And lay it in my hand

There's catharsis she said
In the setting sun
If you give yourself up
To hear the scent of love

There's only one way
To reach the promised land
To take that golden face
And lay it in my hand
