I cry tears of blood,
Even though my flesh is marble.
My soul burns white hot,
Even though my heart is stone.
My mind floods with proof of you.
But hands feel no comfort.
I love to soar to your heavens,
But my feet are made of this earth.
I need to hold you and calm you,
But destiny keeps us apart.
I want to wipe the blood from your brow,
But the blood belongs to your people.
I fight to keep you alive,
But my soul dies with you as people forget.
I cry tears of blood,
But I am the only one.
