Of Hosts And Long Shadows

I heard about you in a psalm Guess you never pulled your weight Are things not sullied when I'm gone? Of hosts and shadows cast away I wrote about you in a song Stoned and blistered into fame It's only hell, I won't be long Don't you suffer in my name Host, shadow So we tightened the knot The fortune was lost We've all but a home now But, my son, we'll never return Defiled and sold And we've still a ways to go So we stood in the way And we'll never relate But your candle remains To shed light on the name Yet my shadow complains While he's cast over clay Still, I'm centuries away I'm centuries away
