Nick Cave & The Badseeds - PATRIPASSIAN

*****************************************

From the Current '93 album All the Pretty Horsies





The rivers of Babylon flow, and fall, and carry

away...Jesus is alone on earth, not merely with no

one to feel and share His agony, but with no one

even to know of it. Heaven and He are the only ones

to know.





Jesus is in a garden, not of delight, like the first

Adam, who fell and took with him all

mankind, but of agony, where He has saved

Himself and all mankind





He suffers this anguish and abandonment in the

horror of the night.





Jesus will be in agony until the end of the world.

There must be no resting in the meantime...
