about

This is a song about a cult, but the cult leader forgot that he started the cult and sort of wandered off. It's written by the only remaining cult member.

lyrics

I've been living on my own, Elijah
I call on you when I feel blue, Elijah
You came to me and set me free,
Now I live to serve thee,

20 years, and it don't seem long, Elijah

It's dark at night, and it's bright in the day, Elijah
I lost my friends when I tried to show them Elijah,
But I would not trade one single day,
Of what you've given me,

I wish I could know more than your name, Elijah

(ghostly oohs)

I don't drink drink, no, I stay true.
All my thoughts, I wrote for you,
Are you mine, or am I yours?
Sometimes, I forget.
It is all because of you, Elijah

On this day I spill my blood, Elijah
I have become just a name, Elijah
You will come and take my hand,
Lead me away

There will be a thousand days, Elijah
There will be a thousand days, Elijah
There will be a thousand days, Elijah
