Diaspora 08:32
Turning away, blurring our sense of vision The image fading, now rests in your heart, a drawn emotion Longing to see beyond a common notion To know the cost of the pilgrimage soon to be forgotten Like walls these mirrors stand and hide a wider view The lone reflection lacks the flesh our selves should pass into Truth writ in foreign hand, if we only knew A spirit shared by all, dwindling in an aging few The glass does not dissolve, our face barring our passage through These walls, like mirrors, stand Where should your reflection be, If never found in the eyes of a stranger? Now it is yourself you seek Found in the cadencies of a lost language Etching this denial into the pillars of the earth Action with abandon, progress opposing greater worth Up from stone and marching, never a choice but to conform Canting our compassion, paving the path our soles have worn Acting with abandon, progress opposes greater worth Etching his denial into the pillars of the earth Turning away, blurring our sense of vision The image fading, now rests in your heart, a drawn emotion Longing to see beyond a common notion To know the cost of the pilgrimage soon to be forgotten We long to see beyond ourselves
