Monument

Windowsill, Paris, France
Cast a shadow of this chance
Hanging over Gare Du Nord
Like I never asked for more
Statues on the building tops

Stooping for the fire we got
Heart's new incantation
Your face bared to the sheer moonlight
Time flies and I'm here to ride

Red lights, cars zoom past
New York had a heart attack
Screaming into a new world
Sunrise at Sacre Coeur
I turn to move into the church

Silence wraps around my head
Like everything I've never said
My heart is reeling, opening to let me in
New day's illumination

Will it rain then and drown this out?
I could die here and never be found out
Sweat freezes on my face
Moving forward from this place
Screaming into a new world

I'm not looking for answers at a time like this
I can feel this moment
For once let it come
Let it, oh God, let it come

Well, it's protect or sacrifice
Waste my time thinking twice
Redirect back to earth
I never knew less than a heart breaker

Torn down monument
Never be the same again
My new destination

Struck down silhouette
Conscience fade to black
Burn out your blood
So, blessed in your military dress

Heaven's incandescent glow
Honorable way to go
Screaming I go screaming
Into a new world
