Pray for him friends, who have not strength to pray
My lover lies in soft ground, with broken teeth,
and frailty leaking from him
Forgive him, Lord, on this and each day of your righteous wrath,
For Justice looks like Death
Pray for him, friends, who have not strength to pray
My lover is the hanged man
He walks in beauty, and sitteth at my left hand
Te decet hymnus, Deus
Pray for him friends, who have not strength to pray,
My lover is the lion
He reaps his harvest, the cruelty that he has sown
Exaudi oriationem meam
Pray for him friends, who have no strength left
My lover’s teeth are breaking
Eternal rest give unto him,
And let perpetual light shine upon him
Requiem aeternam
Pray for him friends, brothers, fathers
Pray for him
All virgins, saints, all righteous
Pray for him

My brother in Christ
Sit down with me
I know you’re frightened, for
Justice looks like Death
My brother in Christ
Lie down with me
I know you’re sorry, but
Justice looks like Death
My brother in Christ
I have prayed for you
Heaven and earth are full of your glory
Heaven and earth are full of your reek of Death
Heaven and earth are full of it
Heaven and earth are full of it
You don’t want to be him, but
My brother in Christ,
You are that man
My brother in Christ,
You are that man
You are that man
You are, you are
That man, you are
You are that man
You are

Spread on my back
That same bed
Christ will come before I do
Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
Motionless, I lie
Thorns laced
Am I the thing that reeks of Death?
Kyrie Eleison

Spread on my back
That same bed
Christ will come before I do

Pie Jesu

I see what is in your heart
No beast you worship
Frailty leaks from you
Cold and naked, you are here
Chin up, soldier,
Men don’t cry
On soft ground your shoulders lie
I pray for Your refuge, Lord,
For there’s not just one of him
There’s an army
The trumpet summons all before Your throne
Chin up, soldier,
Men don’t cry
On soft ground your shoulders lie
Face me with
Your head unbowed
Kneel before my open mouth
Palms flat and wide
I bruise roses
Holding Your thorns
Crushed velvet in Your arms
Chin up, soldier,
Men don’t cry

Sequentia
05:39

|
Take your place among the cattle
Death is struck, and nature doomed
Upon this day of wrath, I waste
Yet in rising, I rent your wounds
I spilled the light
For Judgement,
Make your preparations
The hounds on wheels of fire blaze
There is no grave that can embrace me
No ropes to bind the struts of my broken ribs
My right hand desecrates the mountains
My fingers penetrate your lips
Ahead of you lie countless stones
A violent road to damnation
But I have the certainty of God
The promise of salvation
O Christ, I want to feel alive
O Christ, I want to feel alive
O Christ, I want to feel alive,
I want to feel alive,
I want to feel alive
All flesh shall come to Thee
All flesh shall come to Thee
All flesh shall come to Thee
All flesh shall come to Thee

Agnus Dei

Each man is a cemetery
Each man is a cemetery
Each man is laid beneath earth
Each man is a cemetery
The ground is soft
The ground where He lies is soft
Where he lays beneath earth
The ground is soft
And my fingers are strong
Lay me in the loam
Lay me down to lie
Lay me in the loam, O Lord,
Lay me down to lie
I will dig myself a field of graves
With fingers strong and sodden
I will dig beneath the loam
The earth pouring o’er my head
I will dig in Your soft ground
And lay down at Your side
It’s time We were together
I want You back
I want You—

Lux Æterna
06:39

|
I have loved you
More than a thousand suns
More than your Mother
I have loved you longer
When you were hungry
When you were hungry for me
When you glistened with the smell of me
Arms wrapped around my full name
You’re a big, scared kid
You’re overgrown
You’re coyote
Your mouth is bloodied
On my neck
As you hold me in your palm
I’m a plaything
I’m your plaything
I have held you
I have bore the nails for you
I have heard your whispered prayers
And tasted sins you hide
When you were lying
When you were lying to me
When you were worshipping false Gods
I never faltered
I never faltered

In Paradisum

I won’t send roses
I won’t send cavalry
I won’t send
Justice looks like Death
Justice looks like
God only knows what I’d be without you
I want to be warm, Lord,
I want to feel your hands on me
To walk in your eternal light
And I won’t send roses
I won’t send cavalry
I won’t send
And God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows I could have been anything
I could have been anything
And Justice looks like Death
And Justice looks like Death
And God only knows what I’d be without you
