I Am No God, An Effigy

Lyrics for I Am No God, An Effigy

Look past the horizon The sun burns in your hands I feel it searing, wandering It's red skin on my palms I look, keep away, run, running No running, fearing, never cross me While loving me tears me I'm standing there expectantly This feeling here, it burns through me As all my heart, it burns on me I am no god, an effigy I'm left in rain, I'm left behind I'm left alone to fend for life These embers are what's left of me I am no god, I am an effigy I turned once (I turned once) to see myself (to see myself) To lock my eyes (to lock my eyes), to love and live And I kept turning (and turning), and turning (and turning) And turning (and turning) Still holding on, still grasping thin I gather all that I am late The spirit of my ecstasy Is lost but gone, wasted on me I beg for love, I beg for light I give myself instead for life I am no god, I am no god I am an effigy
