I may not hold you

For as long as forever exists

I may not know you

For as long as the heavens permit

There will be distance

And we'll both have to come to expect

The wild ending of our dark and feathered friends


And we wield the mighty sword

That cuts through bone and lays the liars down

And we wield an angry sword

That softens stone and turns the tides around


So you called me over

And I'll wait by your building tonight 

But you may not bother

But it's better than feeding the lie

I am receiving

The message that I need to go

But I'm not leaving

'Til one of us renders it so
