The Shrines We Are

Thunderous roiling, tumbling, boiling, churning, burning Love misplaced, 
And the rage they saw the side of Janus as he turns his face to the past, 
Oh the unrequited Love shadows grim, dark, foreboding future that will ever last, 
I am thunder you are showers loves lost-- a yearning now takes its place 

The timelines the markers birth to death and grave
Clear as day we saw the stones that marked a path our way
Life will show us what a man can do-- and what he can endure along his lonely stay
Man's raison d être to seek Unity--One Love to divert away the pain 

I come to worship in your name 
I blow East you Blow West
Ah when reason fails
The devil helps to blame
That life's gone that part all the best
And splintered bones and dust our future hails
