I think it's "Priestess sitting up on a golden throne," but I could be wrong. I don't have a physical copy of the album and I don't know if it came with an official lyrics sheet or not.
A man spends a few years in jail, and these lyrics are him talking to himself and encouraging himself through the "long, slow journey." The only thing keeping him going is the woman he loves, who he comes to idolize as someone who will save him when he is released. She doesn't feel the same way, even though at one point she may have. When he finally is released, the woman just tells him to get his things and leave ("you better get what you came for" -- she doesn't even suspect SHE is what he came for). The man snaps back to reality, regretting all the emotional energy he invested in this woman ("Listen to yourself," man!). Beautiful, and tragic.
