With a mourning cry, the unspoken name
Upon traitor’s footsteps it came
And I recall, a good friend of mine
Had told me the story one night
Rejoice within depravity
The children broke bread, as they cried
Avert thine eyes as the saint’s aghast
And scream so loud the trinity hear
Lay gracefully beside me in this subdued light
Between silent darkness and this exquisite pain
Basking in the gloom of an aching flame
That glitters unknowingly as the passing of time
And ages fall as grains of sand swept from my shores
Awash with my yearning
The taming of the land
To purify the raging thirst
Exhale that last cold breath
It holds you to life
Cling to it my darling
Radiate with dying beauty
Forbidden taste, leave your guilt behind
Delight and be damned to burn and to cry
Be pious, receive me, succumb as they watch
Your soul to your witness forsaken and lost
Torn and aching their fires lay doused
Virtue in ruin and my taste in their mouth
So they are tempted one by one
All sheep will fall and the flock will be done
