Sojourn 3

First comes the lightning,

And then the thunder,

Caught in a current dragging me under,

And then the echoes,

And the silence,

I heard a voice offering some kindness,

But I had no words,

Except empty promises,

And faith as little as Doubting Thomas',

And what to make of me,

And what to think of this,

And what to make out of this existence,

Don't know what to do,

And I'm running with the dogs,

And my feet got lost while I was taking up arms,

Write it down with pen,

Baby, take your stand,

While they try to cut you down here in freedom land,

I think I missed the point,

Or something had to change,

But the message I delivered wasn't what I meant to say,

Tell me how you feel, let me read those lips,

And I want to cut a deal,

But a deal won't fit.

And then the giants,

Throwing boulders,

Crack my head and then chip my shoulders,

And the dragon,

Breathing fire,

Makes a desert out of a mire,

And what will you become,

Without your leader,

One is a bruiser,

The other, he is a bleeder,

But my time here is nearly ending,

Silver doors that lead to a beginning.

Don't know what to do,

And I'm running with the dogs,

And my feet got lost while I was taking up arms,

Write it down with pen,

Baby, take your stand,

While they try to cut you down here in freedom land,

I think I missed the point,

Or something had to change,

But the message I delivered wasn't what I meant to say,

Tell me how you feel, let me read those lips,

And I want to cut a deal,

But a deal won't fit.

Don't know what to do,

And I'm running with the dogs,

And my feet got lost while I was taking up arms,

Write it down with pen,

Baby, take your stand,

While they try to cut you down here in freedom land,

I think I missed the point,

Or something had to change,

But the message I delivered wasn't what I meant to say,

Tell me how you feel, let me read those lips,

And I want to cut a deal,

But a deal won't fit.
