on the road to Damascus

 
memories of faith in shades of pain
desolate was the golden streets on which we gambled our fate
daring each other into bravery
lending our voices to a choir of angels
who look but never saw beauty weep
 
bitterness crept upon the dawning of understanding
feeding the fire in our souls
clashing with midnight's dust
 
it was our first and last night together, how were we to know
you cried I pretended not to see
overcome by the moment  
 
I swear a vow to always honor you
I wept upon the knowledge I had loved you times two forevers
silence cut the glory with jealousy
 
I shine in my innocense
believing we could always be
you were cut from my side with a word
sent assassin that bated your valor
I lay down my weapons, then
and the all the angels cried
stars crash to the ground in brotherhood  
 
for the love of our immortal bond
lay your soul down in mine
and keep your vow to heaven no more
