I.
Give me, give me
Take me, take me
hold on, let go
bash, brush, batter
ram, run, ruin, rust
slam, slit, slash, slut
Never let go,
never hold on
destroy and refuse
love to little
lust to much
In the endless twilight
see nothing but shadow.
see nothing but smoke
creatures broken
creatures bending
creatures, creatures
nothing but dust.
Give me everything you're not
take me away from life
hold on to your stuff
let go of your soul
hide me from the light
hide me from the light
Dust, smoke, shadow, film
we aren't real, we're just here
Just don't let the light
show other's I'm not solid
Just don't let the light
show I'm just a shadow
Bit, beat, batter, bash,
spit, swat, swear, sin
gash, godless, groveling
mash, miss, muster, master
hold, hit, hate, hell
II.
Dig a hole, hid your soul
build a tower, become a god
hit another to show your power
build a wall, to keep others out
me, myself, and I
I, myself, and me
we all enjoy ourselves
who needs anyone else?
we have our stuff
we have our TV
we don't need anyone
we don't need our souls
Dig a hole, hid your soul
blind yourself to lead the blind
become a mute, to silence others
harm others to see their pain
hurt yourself to make yourself real
me, myself, and I
I, myself, and me
we are at war, together
we are at war, against
each other.
we hate, me
we hate, myself
we hate, I
we hate
Dig a hole, so no one sees
that all you want is love
but all you get is lust
take from others
so they can't have
hide in the dark
hide in the shadow
take someone's light
put it out.
Me, myself, and I
we live on earth
all we have is earth
all we want is earth
all we get is earth
III.
was, is, will be
light the sky
sing a song
write a poem
hope for grace
cry for mercy
die for joy
die for all
earth and dust leave behind
fall on knees, water with tears
beat your chest, wash with blood
was, is, will be
dance with dirty feet and great joy
was, is, will be
sing with tears and great love
was, is, will be
shout meekly and with out fear
give your soul to heaven
give your body to earth
leave your stuff
give your stuff
hate your stuff
love God.
IV.
Light, glorious, light, painful, real, horribly wonderful, light
Light which shows our shadow.
Light which makes us real
Light which goes through our souls
Light which knows all of that we are
Glory, beautiful, deadly, life giving, glorious and solid
Glory, singing, merciful, slaughtered, alive
Glory, dancing, endless, tired-less, free
Glory which knows our dust and our stuff
Glory which knows our death and our tears
Joy, endlessly rolling endlessly pouring
Joy, shouting always, shouting with praise
Joy from our very being
Joy from our greatest sadness
Joy for our greatest hope and truth
Mercy, painfully bought in blood drops
Mercy, picking up our broken pieces
Mercy, feeding us its own body
Mercy, bleeding for our thirst
Mercy, never ending, never ending
Love, at the sun rises glorious coming
Love, that has been and will always be
Love, which spoke our dance to being
Love, which knows us and still loves
Love, which lived to die and lives again
Light, was, is, and will always shine
Glory, the very rocks sing their praise
Joy, endless and never stopping
Mercy, undeserved, overflowing
Love, the true truth lived for us.
