Wings for Marie (PT I) - ( 10,000 Days, Tool )You...
you...
you believed...
you believed in moments not conceived
you believed in me
a patient in spirit
uncompromise
without us in your heart
a light in your eyes that ends all lies
vacant, broken
Fell at the hands of
Those moments that I wouldn't see
Cause you, you pray for me too...
what have I done to be a son to an angel
what have I done
to be worthy
daylight dims
leaving cold flourescence
difficult to see you in this light
please forgive this selfish question but
don't know what to say to all these ghouls tonight
she never told a lie, but might have told a lie
but never lived one...
didn't have a life, didn't have a life
but surely saved one...
alright, now it's time for us to let you go...

10,000 Days (Wings pt.2) - ToolListen to the tales and romanticize,
How we follow the path of the hero.
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun.
How we 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 fibbers in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me.
None of them can even hold a candle up to you.
Blinded by choices, hypocrites won't see.
But, enough about the collective Judas.
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
You'll have a piece of the divine.
And this little light of mine, the gift you passed on to me;
I'll 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 going to do when the rivers overrun
Other than tremble incessantly?
High as a wave, but our eyes are upon the ground.
You [are / were] the light and the way, they'll only read about.
I only pray, [Heaven / God] 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 have 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 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 the 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...
