Crown of Sympathy

See the light and feel my warm desire, runthrough my veins like the evening sun. Itwill live but no eyes will see it. I'll bless yourname before I die. No person in everything canshine, yet shine you did, for the world to see.All a man hath will he give for life? For lifethat's lost bleeds all over me. I'd fallen beforebut it never hurt like this. Don't leave me hereto crawl through the mire. I'm without faultbefore the throne of god. Take from me thecrown of sympathy. What do you think you'llsee? What do you think there will be? Sit down!Did you see the sun? What will we become?Great ones? The mouths that dare not speak hisname, behold them, raised, complete and fine.The battle for our lives is oh, so brief. Take myhand and please walk with me. When I wasyoung the sun did burn my face. I let its loveand warmth wash over me. The melting voice ofmany, in the hush of night. Whispering tonguescan poison my honest truth. Come dress mewith your body, and comfort me. I dreamt of adead child in my sleep. I wear a terriblemark in my head. my clean, white bed. It callsto me. I must lie down. and I want you to laywith me, in sympathy. No sad "adieus" on abalcony. For one last time, just walk with me.At the beautiful gate of the temple, we mustbe saved. For deadened, icy pain, covers all theearth.
