Glory
to God, the highest
As I hang here
Glory to God, the highest
As I bleed on my cross
The white sun bites me
The winds blow dust in my drooling wounds
How could ever end
This eternal power display
This cross
This web of steel
The universe comes together
In my emptying bowels
God’s breath is in me
As my own breath hampers
God’s touch is upon me
As the nails rip slowly through my flesh
The thorned crown mocks me
The undertaker birds clench their thirst with my tears
How could be overcome
This solemn dream world
This nebula that’s called world
This hurting illusion
Could it be real?
Could I be dying?
The savage God, the sacrificer
The flesh ripper, the Holy rapist
All in name of humanity, of love
There are no words for my contempt
This timeless moment
Between night and day
Life flees from me
But so slow, so slow…
