kneeling before the carnal demon machine

in hands and knees she swallows divinity

begging for forgiveness, the blessing of a kiss

the essence of denial, the pleasure of her sin



father please embrace me

my lusts i lay unto thee

free me from temptation

may you scourge this skin with the seeds of salvation



she?s crying beneath an image

an image of a hundred thorns

rivers that calm, rivers that lie

thorns like nails driven into her flesh

ecstasy nailed to the cross



holy water pouring on my breasts

on hands and knees i swallow divinity

a picture that calms, a picture that lies

i?m drowning in the face of Jesus Christ
