Ascension

The lights they have gathered over me
No longer should I pray or plea
The weight has been lifted, that once saw me down
And crawling on my knees
And I'm not your friend nor your foe
You standing under my shadow
Lift up your questioning, rambling eyes
And receive my blood in your brows

And I long for the heights
Nothing earthly satisfies
Crucify me for my crimes
For I'm confined to your days and your nights

The world once made me a whore
Begging from door to door
But the world is a whore house, my shipwrecked friends
I just learned it much before
And all of the roads that I pave
Under your masses will quave
And all of the stepping stones that I tread upon
Will be boulders on your graves

And I long for the heights
Nothing earthly satisfies
Crucify me for my crimes
For I'm confined to your days and your nights

My eyes
Have closed
To this world
Of make believe
The gates
Of life
Unlocked
And open wide
The flesh
It throes
It howls
Is left behind
What bliss
Awaits
Beyond
All right and wrong
My eyes
Have closed
To this world
Of make believe
The gates
Of life
Unlocked
And open wide
The flesh
It throes
It howls
Is left behind
What bliss
Awaits
I'll find out
I'll find out

And I long for the heights
Nothing earthly satisfies
So, bestow me with your spite
I am broken, hear my plight
Crucify me for my crimes
For I'm confined to your days and your nights
