| On bended knees we pray for war, a blade draws blood but often tarnishes |
| Through blazing eyes I see new sunsets, sky now breaking different shades of red |
| We pray for blades, ablazing locusts call for wars to wet the earth |
| To cover the world in black and bracken, flaming stubble with church bell |
| battles |
| And then I lie in the arms of a smiling girl who prays to Christ and the pale |
| queens mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| When did I stand before I touched the shadows of this life that touch the dark |
| and dream of ice |
| An endless winter in this dogday-age, I kiss the cross but dream of wars |
| A bagatelle for a massacre or wars of fire were build to last |
| Old men die and stone will turn to stone |
| And then I kiss the mouth of a smiling girl who calls on Christ and the pale |
| queens mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Immaculate heart of immaculate love a tawdry scarecrow for a tarnished crown |
| His five wounds bleed but only on his throne, his toothless smile cuts wide |
| across his face |
| And then I kiss the mouth of a smiling girl who calls on Christ and the pale |
| queens mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| And what shall I receive a little drum to beat when I march with scorched |
| earth’s steps |
| A rocking horse for a little warrior to trample around and down from fields of rape |
| An alabaster doll for the little maid while she waxes and wanes through the |
| blood of the moon |
| And camouflaged smocks for the purest of pure, a masculine mark, |
| and the flag of their shame |
| And I kiss the lips of the smiling girl who calls on Christ and the pale queens |
| mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| And where shall I go back there and back, furthest and far, to the edge of the |
| shore |
| The snow falls thick his mantle of strength descends with a winter on those in his service |
| The snow is the winner |
| Message of winter, your hope shall be crushed |
| The lightflame grows dimmer |
| Child’s laughter ceases on a front with no ending |
| Within words with no meaning |
| Child’s laughter sickens |
| Child’s fever rages |
| Smouldering pages |
| Inquisition! |
| And I die in the arms of a smiling girl who prays to Christ and the pale queens |
| mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
| Mighty in sorrow |
