Bone of my Bone
Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh
Your desires are not hid from me
These passions your fruits
Do not they belong to me?
From hence you came
A gift from me to you
From you to me?
No dust, no sand, or golden band
Only empty sea
You are fully revealed to me and I to you
Could I let you suffer alone?
Dare I go on
No chimes, for all Times
To me you belong, as I to you
Oh what Else could I do?
Separated myself alone
Flesh of my flesh bone of my bone
This is not your home
Nor is it our time
Yet we will shine
For all time
Stars in our crowns
Frowns turned upside down
Justification instead of purification
Mere mortal souls
Yet we are so bold
Streets of gold
For not any feet to walk among
Only just spirits may glide upon
No traps, no fears, tears all gone
No stripes to bare, no yokes
No jokes about strife or life
Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh
This life was, but only a test
To your testimony
Have you eyes to see?
Can you believe in me?
Have you ears to hear?
Or are you deaf and blind to me?
Does your love sit idol
Have we no hands to work , for us ?
For me? Is there any trust?
Is our life just a bust?
You have feet dear? I've seen you walk
But, do you not know, how to talk?
What happened to give and to take?
Our lives one big mistake?
From here to there
Truly we dared
With out a single care
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Left me all alone
Separated Spirit From flesh
One final test
Life is, but ones Quest
Our senses now gone
Were they designed to fail?
No longer are there any roses left to smell
Bone of my bone, our flesh is now gone
I am; yet alone, your God
