Filk, because it came into my mind this morning and wouldn't disappear until I wrote it. To the tune of
Addicted to Bass.
Contains minor-to-middling FOIP, if you know where to look for it. Also neglects canon in places in favour of scansion. Concrit welcome.
Just one tired head mouthing the Soldier's name
I'm shaking with the heat of my need again
It starts in my feet, works up into my brain
There's nothing I can do to undo the pain
I'm looking down to the shrine below
There's nothing in the way they move to show
They too know what I know
They too see what the Soldier shows
Listening to the seraphim I'm falling far behind
There's a certain something missing that vineweed cannot find
It is my Lord God's will, that I must remind
A word about my weakness:
I'm totally addicted to rhind
Wow oh ah oh
Totally addicted to rhind
Wow oh ah oh
There's nothing I can do to be cool
I don't sleep 'til I've had my fuel
It frustrates if I am deprived
A hunger that grates from deep inside
I feel like I'm doing time
Imprisoned by dependence on a vision sublime
In my mind I must overcome the need to define
The solitary silence of a faceless crime.
Standing by the shrine I'm feeling so alone
My back against the altar and I'm moving on my own
Surrounded by so many but alone inside my mind
They all can see my problem:
I'm totally addicted to rhind
Wow oh ah oh
Totally addicted to rhind
Wow oh ah oh
A vision now is forming in my eyes
Wow oh ah oh
A vision now, as the Soldier will advise
On faith my sight relies
Sunrise at my window, I kneel down to pray
Faithful in the church are beginning their day
Suddenly I realise with a puff and then a sigh
Everybody in this building is getting high
Down in the shrine below
There's something in the way they move to show
They too, know what I know
They too see what the Soldier shows
My faith is running over me to wash away my fears
The backbeat of devotion it sweetens my tears
There's something that's connected us down throughout the years
No need to feel so lonely, everyone's addicted to rhind
Wow oh ah oh
Everyone's addicted to rhind
Wow oh ah oh
A vision now is forming in my eyes
A vision
A vision now, as the Soldier will advise
On my faith my sight relies
A vision now is forming in my eyes
A vision
A vision now, as the Soldier will advise
On my faith my sight relies
