Balthazar

You're taking back your gold and myrrh
As you trace back the path of stars
that brought you here
Balthazar, after all we lost control of
I still got to hold my faith so dear

One day you came to me
You took me by the hands and
opened my eyes to see
Balthazar, now take a look at me
And what our love turned out to be
in 2000 years

Here's our gospel as apocryphal
Here's our rise as downfall
Here's our prayer as profane
Here's our love as inhumane
From zero to everything
From intuition to dream
From cancer to pisces
From me to you
Balthazar

I took your word and I took your wine
Until they'd spread themselves thin
As the blessings by my bedside
Balthazar, but I remember who we were
When we'd count them at our shrine

When you came at my altar
All the time you seemed to know
all our life ahead
Balthazar, when time and space
made themselves I just hoped
that we'd be there
And right here I swear

You throw prayers to the night sky
Cause in the dark you'll find me here
You're breaking your vow of silence
As you refuse to break your knees
For the praise of me you don't show
And the words we can't get back
