Those Golden Wings

You rejected the notion of a scorecard god
When you were young you saw it all
You had to fight so hard for all the things you loved
Never one of the crowd when it called

Abandoning that ship of fools
Lifted by those golden wings
Wear your arms, smile with no other rule
A deeper love that shines through you

In the warring days an acorn turned to oak tree
Behind a past that matched the fury of the sun
Wearing a mask, heavy armour and a shield
Laying waste to all the days, months and years

Abandoning that ship of fools
Lifted by those golden wings
Wear your arms, smile with no other rule
A deeper love that shines through you

When the hero of a thousand faces
Stands his ground on the day of the dead
An iceberg turns to mist in the maelstrom
A new sun rises on the road ahead

Abandoning that ship of fools
Lifted by those golden wings
Wear your arms, smile with no other rule
A deeper love that shines through you
