|
Adorn magnificent costume
|
For I come to judge the world
|
Be with me here in my dark place
|
Let yours be mine
|
Cut me and I do not bleed
|
Heat is my body
|
The poor and simple fools
|
Equal under my presence
|
Lift up your head
|
|
Blessed in the womb that bare thee
|
Feed us with knowledge
|
Release us from atrocities
|
And shades of sinister figures
|
Bare witness to this orgy of glory
|
Groping at my naked privacy
|
Unleashing pure bitterness
|
And I did bleed over them
|
|
Hindered by savage plague
|
Offspring wasting away
|
Christ where is your mercy?
|
Do listen to me pray?
|
Cast upon us a pitying eye
|
The baptism os such as is,
|
Of riper years
|
Am I blind? Who are you?
|
|
He died that you might live
|
And lived only to cleanse you
|
From sin's polluting stain
|
If I had the chance to cut you
|
Believe me you would bleed
|
And the rest...
|
