Pray for us sinners

lyrics

we return to you
our mother, Mary
from rotten womb
to patient grave
your blind sister
has cast us down
as Medusa would wield blade
our hearts have been weighed too heavy
no tears flow to oceans
here we flounder
brick'd and Guillain-Barre'd

no mirror returns our countenance
Narcissus carved in flesh
nursed on blood
we are as if your daughters
all Ophelia, drowned
all Eurydice, damned
as yellow swans we peck our own breasts
beauty leaks away like water
yellow tears and ashen ink
adorn us with tears
so that we may weep
adorn us with the Stations
so that we may be pardoned
adorn us with chains
so that we may sleep

now and at the eternal hour of our deaths
