Sackcloth on the tenterhook Birdfeeders or birdlime What is above must be holy Cause 666 is time The letter kills unless it’s Written on the human heart The martyrs win their crowns And another life to start There’re fresh waters above the heavens But the lake of fire must be brimming We’re all in the fish tank Whether we’re sinking or swimming The bridal city made of jasper Gives babies eloquent tongues The beauty penetrates my bones The crystal air fills my lungs But while we’re still on earth The ancient sinner waits Mocking the ignominy of our flesh And using us as bait
