FOR CHRIST'S SAKE Look there, closely at the fleshy part of your palms. Look there where the lines converge and join. This is where the spikes are driven through, nailing you to the hot splintered wood. Look there where your legs are crossed at the ankles, as the third spike crushes through and holds you. Slowly The blood drips your soul away into the emptiness, as you hang suspended, in the gulf between the possibility, and the reality. Come down. Come down. We need you now. You hang there because you were the possibility. We hang here here because we cling to the reality. For Christ's sake, forgive us, for we know not what we do. Forgive us, for we know not what we do. We know not what we do.

For Christ's Sake
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE Look there, closely at the fleshy part of your palms. Look there where the lines converge and join. This is where the spikes are driven through, nailing you to the hot splintered wood. Look there where your legs are crossed at the ankles, as the third spike crushes through and holds you. Slowly The blood drips your soul away into the emptiness, as you hang suspended, in the gulf between the possibility, and the reality. Come down. Come down. We need you now. You hang there because you were the possibility. We hang here here because we cling to the reality. For Christ's sake, forgive us, for we know not what we do. Forgive us, for we know not what we do. We know not what we do.
