Jarboe

take pity, please, lord misery
how shiny your throne as you view the stage
oh majesty, you flatter-see before you o'this our humble
play
applaud the dance-such innocence
before you, have mercy a man of hate
we sing for thee, lady destiny
how bloody our knees as we kiss your name
oh can it be, kind blasphemy
anoint, pray, your servants, offering
this innocence, such innocence
before you have mercy a man of hate
we claim its not our fault
we're actors in our guilty mission
for shame is in the thought
not our pretty submission:
reveal my good confession what i hope to gain
