Mecca
Taking homage
planting the fossil for future reference
came upon a story today
read it carefully
as it seeped into my manic views
never disturbed
prosperous villans that steal
and reveal my dismay today
I make my trip to mecca and I pray for
it to rain
I make my trip to mecca to hide away the
simple pain
I make my trip to mecca and I lost myself
in turn
I make my trip to mecca how my sins internal
burn
I took the words I lost and build an altar
strong
the trip I took, i learn, that inside
this temple strong
For I know all that I do and I know all
that I may be
Yet with wondering hands I learn, here...
the words for you to see
I make my trip to mecca and I pray for
it to rain
I make my trip to mecca to hide away the
simple pain
I make my trip to mecca and I lost myself
in turn
I make my trip to mecca how my sins internal
burn
The star is there to guide and cleanse
this smokey dust
The sin inside me lies, with naked wandering
lust
with these few granted thoughts and torn
apart relief
i fall upon the scared ground, to bid
myself of grief
I make my trip to mecca and I pray for
it to rain
I make my trip to mecca to hide away the
simple pain
I make my trip to mecca and I lost myself
in turn
I make my trip to mecca how my sins internal
burn
The final journey long and to my feet
I stand
With eyes that see tomorrow and heart
that softly lands
With soul among the living and sin among
the dead
I take my last futile steps, the one that
faith has led
I make my trip to mecca and I pray for
it to rain
I make my trip to mecca to hide away the
simple pain
I make my trip to mecca and I lost myself
in turn
I make my trip to mecca how my sins internal
burn
