Re: Heroes

L'Adonai (To the Lord),
Is this the, "Once more" You've been waiting for?
Is this the top before the drop of our final tour?
Can we see the bottom from where we've been?
Can we see the sky's not that far from the floor?

"Once more," until we know You're truly there.
"Once more," before we're breathing Your air.
"Once more," with the acts and heroics of men.
"Once more," to reveal just HOW You really care.

So much time You've given to make up our mind.
How long before we realize we're still so blind?
That Old Man walks in every door we leave open.
We no longer look for the life of a peculiar kind.

L'Dodo (To His Beloved),
When all has shaken down, nothing keeps its place,
No hero holds their own, and no one can save face-
Perhaps that time will present a cleaner lens to see,
The change we all desire, comes only through His grace.

Perhaps you might have figured out He is not over you.
The paid price has never changed- He cannot be through.
Will you once more turn to men and let His anger burn?
Or will you finally turn to Him and heroes not pursue?

Are you ready to be let down again- reaping what you sow?
The curiosity of infatuation is not what true lovers know.
Agendas and the hope of "us" will less and less be true.
You'll wake up in the empty bed- where did your hero go?

Written and waiting in silence is the truth of His own Word.
This Word of silence He will soon turn into a righteous sword.
Heroes take their stand, but will never hold their ground.
"One to fall and two will follow," let all know, "He is the Lord."

"The hill is steep," you say, "We will surely reach new height!"
"Work with us harder, better, longer- we will need your might!"
Heroes work you in the wrong direction, how can you not see?
Perhaps because in all his wisdom- he's forgotten to use a light?

Once more with the heroes- once more with their charades.
Once more for the mighty men- once more for their parades.
Once more before it all falls down and everything is gone.
"Once more and then the end," no man's splendors arrayed.

Where are they who in their heart place Him upon the throne?
Where is the people those life He gave to make His very own?
Where are those with severed ties and openly broken lives?
Where are those who surely proclaim, "He is the Lord ALONE?"
