Eternal Lifeline

Your finger tips touched the light inside of me 
Abundant chemistry set fire beneath my feet 

Sad lines of guilt define your face 
Lips gray in stone capped shame 

You used to walk so free 
Now in a place of humility- crawling

I was the face of comfort you called on
I've become a distant borderline stranger 

Run me clean like the river that rages
Cut me down to the beauty of beginning 

I'll save you in a sailing dream 
I'll turn a cheek to your loaded gun 

I've been walking aimlessly
Grief is the aching I've known 

Thinking on that night
 I saw the kindness leave your eyes 

Dissident heart chilled the air 
You refused to hold me one last time 

What did I do
To make you so cruel 

The more love I poured out 
The thicker your shield became 

Once shared flesh 
Severed by religious grain 

Hanging hearts on lamp posts
Slaughtered in the name of holiness 

Self denial and sacrifice 
Threads woven to save a family name 

Reputation hanging in the mouth of death 
To save what's external 

Murdered love buried in soil 
For the greater eternal lifeline
