Here I stand in the spotlight
A tower of strength for all to see
My head is down
I know the truth
For all my strength
There is emptiness
I fight here in silence
Surrounded by the dark
I am still
I stand tall
All see strength
I feel empty, alone
This pain inside
Growing bigger, breaking out
The darkness in the light
A sight of paradise
Plagued by monsters all my own
A terrible fight breaking and screaming
Tearing me apart
Nothing I can do
But sand tall and strong
A Monument to strength
All alone in a courtyard
The moon shines down
And Lights this man
All I can be
But they don't know
This shell is but the start of me
The depths, I go far beyond this sight
The sun and moon that they see
On my pillar high
No one can touch
The heights of mine
Or feel the sorrow
Down deep inside of me
The stone figure
Built up high Now tears in his eyes
I begin to cry
For all the hollowness to see
Made of marble, rocks, and stone
With the workmanship of old
Forgotten, here alone
Lights put up
A shallow thought
They can't remember
The days of old
Strength and power
Grace and wonder
Loving kindness no longer splendor
They all sit and wonder
Who does this remember?
What went on here?
Trees are gone
Honor perishes
Concrete grows around
Thought is strangled
Time ticks all is forgotten
Here I stand pure and true
Alone among the millions
Artificial is all I see
Forgotten as the lamp shines on me
The cross pulled down
The Ten stricken out
Memories fade
Why do I stand alone?
One of many
Now alone
Few remain
Tributes to better days
Hard work, honor, honesty
The scales are tipped
Justice is lost
Folly thrives
I n this garden of esteem
All build themselves up
And burn, come the rising sun
They have forgotten
The reason I stand
A faint remembrance
For all to see
Standing tall a spectacle
But the blind can not see
The dead can not feel
Misunderstood stands this statue
So empty and alone
Surrounded by the darkness
Those who try to understand
Frightened by the light
They can not comprehend
They drown in the depths of his soul
Afraid of this strength they see they understand not the marble
Eroded not by time
As the others around in time do
Flesh born in knowledge and wisdom
Fed by the fruit of the spirit
Strong and tall
The spirit flows
I stand here still
Alone in darkness
For all the world to see
A tower of perfection
Sought by the world
For my rarity
That which scares them
When they see
A dream come true
In the flesh I stand
The pinnacle of the hearts desire
Unwanted in their lustful hearts
Jaded is their vision
A concrete version of me
Taken by hundreds
Millions take the hollow version made of sand
It crumbles in there hands
Dust to dust
A pile of ashes
Still I stand
Alone always alone
I frighten your enemies
Stand tall, give you courage
Inspiration to the masses
Strength for men big and small
A memory of the days of old
Molded by their greatness
Sorrow fills my soul
Tears leave mine eyes
My head is down
For all the world to see
A tower of strength
Here I stand in the spotlight
Alone
A tower of strength for all to see
My head is down
I know the truth
For all my strength
There is emptiness
I fight here in silence
Surrounded by the dark
I am still
