Eden

So I scrape away the filth with the knife of prayer
To be reborn, immersed in this cleansing spring

I look down on the world as it dissolves into the vast sky
Inside this blood muddied by love and hatred

‘Come, take my hand’ If there is indeed a future
Will you support me amidst the brewing storm?

Even the blessings covering the earth are tinged with malice
As I am parched to my soul by the beating sun

Merely hold me, with a warm light; with that voice and that love
No longer am I lost; I offer all to you
Endless, forever

This spirit, undulating and singing to the mighty ocean

Merely hold me, with a warm light; with that voice and that love
No longer am I lost; I offer all to you
Endless, forever
I hold you now; in prayer and recompense even our sins are forgiven
Blessings pour on us; with you this I swear-
I will ever more be by your side

Let us leave this twisted earth for the light
With our newfound wings
Eden’s eternal glow, diamond tears

…in dancing…in trembling…in prayer…
