Fountain
I’ve been broken before
Felt the hurt, seen the gore
That always precedes the door
Through which all spirits pour
When the body breaks
The soul itself escapes
To that magic place
There behold God’s face
Immortality
Is not what we should seek
Know that we are free
And nothing can we keep
Keeping is for those
Who make their friends their foes
Cultivate their woes
Their hypocrisy shows
I choose a different path
Guided from above
It’s logical like math
The only choice is love
To love it is divine
The measure of a life
Though dying on the vine
I took you as my wife
You taught me how to love
Helped my spirit grow
Things that we thought of
Are tattooed on my soul
I’ll share what I have learned
The remainder of my days
And then I will have earned
The end to all my pain
The glory and the power
The essence of the mountain
Is transferred through her bleeding
That springs forth like a fountain
To share it all we must
To keep our love alive
Or else our hearts will bust
From what we hold inside
Felt the hurt, seen the gore
That always precedes the door
Through which all spirits pour
When the body breaks
The soul itself escapes
To that magic place
There behold God’s face
Immortality
Is not what we should seek
Know that we are free
And nothing can we keep
Keeping is for those
Who make their friends their foes
Cultivate their woes
Their hypocrisy shows
I choose a different path
Guided from above
It’s logical like math
The only choice is love
To love it is divine
The measure of a life
Though dying on the vine
I took you as my wife
You taught me how to love
Helped my spirit grow
Things that we thought of
Are tattooed on my soul
I’ll share what I have learned
The remainder of my days
And then I will have earned
The end to all my pain
The glory and the power
The essence of the mountain
Is transferred through her bleeding
That springs forth like a fountain
To share it all we must
To keep our love alive
Or else our hearts will bust
From what we hold inside
