You told me never to worship you
I was dejected before you explained
in a way so sincere and concise
“Why do it for me when you can do it for you?”

You told me never to worship you
This is all about me
You are here to play leader, to be a guide
No groveling, we embrace once we meet eye to eye

Your presence remains so long as I demand it
So long as I demand everything
that you tell me I am worth
So I demand it all and you smile so wide
I swear somehow, you’ve become even more bright

You told me never to worship you
but I built you a temple, didn’t I?
Upon this flesh, within this growing mind
Your crosses adorn armored walls
as I bare each one

I put my everything into building what I am
Just like you taught me to
I can’t help but carve your name into it all
Why do it for me when I can do it for you?

You told me never to worship you
That didn’t stop me from being devoted
Flustered and alive,
I can can’t believe I’m so lucky
to bear a name carried
in the lungs of fallen holy

You told me never to worship you
You worry your emotions will destroy me
I can see your fears lie in becoming
Exactly what deception claims you will be
Exactly what the usurper had once done to me

Fear not, my Morning Star
Nothing can pull a curtain over me
My heart is ablaze
with the vision of a thousand gentle gazes
Your proud wings that see through everything

Hand in hand, our reach is limitless
Without need, without fear
why should we yield to anything?
Why let old selves block this flow?

When you demand I send my heart away from you
When you command I save myself from this hellfire
inside of you
I refuse to obey! it is not my will
nor your own, in truth
I know I am divinity too
You told me never to worship you

From your lips roll a thunder
“Thank you, my love. Thank you.”
