death on splendid wings did call
and all the wicked angels fall
so god was left weeping, only him
his perfect glory, his only sin
pedestals of lonely dust
the memory of shadows near quaint
by candle light scholars busts
replaced the spirits, became mans saints
vast aeons now had come and past
gone was Goliath god at last
but none like him could cry a tear
for True Love lost, alone with fear
so we made our own gods
so we crafted angels out of man
and plied the stars as the oceans
and reigned in fire's chariot by mortal hands
on the tombstone
carved for eternity
a single commandment stood alone
"love thy neighbor as I loved thee"
Farewell Goliath, strange father ours
we never did know you
...but you loved us all the same
