'such uncompromising sacrifice
leave festered wounds undressed
this was meant to hurt you
here, you'll find neither home nor rest
go with grief, pray for plagues
wish for what once was
you, my dear, are all effect
what is meaning without cause?'

'send the bullet, send the blade
send a flood of every ocean
shoot me down at the gates of heaven
while my lips still taste devotion
speak not of such unholy gifts
or a life lived without love
i've gargled six days with gasoline
and still can taste your blood
you, my dear, have wasted
the most precious gift of all
i give my life to grace
you are, i fear, the fall'
