so I took a shot in the dark
my patience wore thin
so I put an aim on his heart
long barrel with a scope of steel
like the hope and fear
like the Pope endeared
Suddenly...
I'm reduced to tears
I see my actions consequences
No need to elaborate
I felt the pain for hours
and felt the soul of my mistake
For love and fear and flesh
their significance and depth
frozen at the recognition
we are all approaching death
and to bring it prematurely
that seeks the greatest sin
so when the act was finished
the devil surely grinned
I was alive in point
but fell and took a loss
and now my back is burdened
by a wooden splintered cross
this is the cross I carry
I've deemed it necessary
to be laden with stone
and detest the world weary
just wait here a moment
for the hour of atonement
The rupture of the wicked
and the birth of a giant
now..
the stiff tear filled eyes
are taken by surprise
when heros are remembered
and son's begin to rise
