1 Awaiting destinies dealt hand, He asks, "must I be held as a martyr, is there not way other than sacrifice? I am a preacher (pacifist) not (Padrig Pearse) the revolutionary terrorist?" "Self preservation scars me as the nails soon will. Damn this faith I am not the prototype of a rock star going down in a blaze, (a Kamikaze Christ), to fortify salvation for the agnostic souls". 2 Even in cowardice I can't help but be envious of this immortal who welcomes death. By his Turin I nestled whispering Counsel and condolence; for what It is worth, (these words make revelation.) So we bleed, as all brave men must to prove their worth, my bleeding is weak lust (vacant trespasses) conceited. Your agony flowers with devoted purpose Embrace this conquest, rise above us (pigs in dust). 3 This Last Supper of fish, a final kiss from Judas. It was a simple act made more humbling by roman humiliation. Friday is a good day… on which to live or die. ---------------------------- " Lord, stay with me Don't go down I will never be free If I am not free now." Nick Cave - No more shall we part. There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong |
