I lay my head upon the altar Censers filled with weeds and salt from Seas long fled Inside my head And vestal ****** cover me in oil And light my bier And follow me awhile along the pier For soon I will be dead.
Come see my prayers laid bare across the floor The clutching fingers that canβt close around existence anymore Come see my life sprawled underneath a pin Come cold hosannas wash me free of sin Come heaven and bright water Christ donβt leave me now.
