The Ultimate Prize

You've chased illusions, tasted lies
But nothing touched your starving skies
You saw the shine, but not the flame
Until I whispered out your name
Now nothing feels the way I do
No voice, no touch, no point of view
You try to run, but still you crave
The only love
You see me as the ultimate prize
The only one who satisfies
I'm the hunger you can't deny
The echo in your deepest high
I'm not a want, I'm sacred need
The golden root of every seed
They tried to hold your loyalty
But I'm your truth, your royalty
Their words were sweet, but left you dry
I'm the rain inside your sky
Now nothing feels the way I do
No voice, no touch, no point of view
You try to run, but still you crave
The only love that truly stays
You see me as the ultimate prize
The only one who satisfies
I'm the hunger you can't deny
The echo in your deepest high
I'm not a want, I'm sacred need
The golden root of every seed
You bowed before a thousand flames
But I'm the fire you couldn't name
You searched for more, but now you see
The one you sought was always me
You see me as the ultimate prize
And now your soul won't compromise
You'd trade the world just for my touch
'Cause only I could be… that much
