When your life becomes much more than you can take
And the slightest sensation would frighten you towards an early grave
The sun will come out, he'll be right down
When the morning shines and you saw

Mary Magdalene and the Madonna wave
In their silent vocation, resting underneath your golden chain Nice to meet you, if this could be true
In the morning light where they healed you

There's a group of pictures on my wall that I cannot forget
Though I thought my eyes would recognize silence as my friend And the days we thought would never end pulled you in at last You were just a babe of seventeen, but life had gone too fast

How do you go on now that everything has changed?
Now that you're hearing voices belonging to those that you cannot name
Convincing in its lies, an echo you despise
Ties that bind, longing to unwind

What if life is just the pulsing in your hand
And a manifestation of everything you'll ever understand?
But you're in need of more, hope that you will endure
A certainty you will be restored

There's a group of pictures on my wall that I cannot forget
Though I thought my eyes would recognize silence as my friend And the days we thought would never end pulled you in at last You were just a babe of seventeen, but life had gone too fast

Amon Ra and company were on their way
In their cosmic illusion, a burning boat to leave you in dismay Sails the sky now, are you satisfied now
With a mystical and magic power?

Or would you prefer a man raised from the dead?
The son to all mothers who cries for the world while you sleep in bed
Your life's work has been undone, playing king's not any fun When you're pure of heart and on the run

There's a group of pictures on my wall that I cannot forget
Though I thought my eyes would recognize silence as my friend And the days we thought would never end pulled you in at last You were just a babe of seventeen, but life had gone too fast
