Modern Sainthood

The rules of modern sainthood direct as follows Otherness is a trait of the Holy And fairytales are nightmares And I confess, I would gladly swap my heroes for guardians, But you didn't do a good job as either. It has come to the point where God must come onto the earth through your form As you always play the martyr. Years later I end up Knight on a journey, having no purpose or direction other than the list of sins to repent for. So I give away each pentacle For turning valleys into mountain rages And I give away each dove For deepening the seas And I part with all my wands For straying from my path And I fall on my own sword For looking at the sun One truth you have told me And to this I didn't listen One lie I have told myself Magic isn't real Because everything ends well in stories So I rose you up and still kept falling Onto the desert where I share tales with visions left behind
