What fool amongst the blind asks for substance significance
Deliverance of avatars
Their magistrates asleep with serpents?
Deliverance of avatars
This is the stuff of wrapped-up-tight with serpents
What is this that might seek to pierce your breast as you
Sit with prayer silent by your side?
A sinister smile
Might play upon insipid lips
Whilst sorry, splendid faiths beg leave to desert you
Steal away, for awhile
This is your night time
It sees you cradling its knife
This is your night time
It sees you drinking of its waters
That you might fall beneath those waves of, oh so, anxious sympathy
It is that night time
For which such anxious hearts must surely bleed
To us these Jesus-things are cruel and rarely saviours
For those for whom salvation is surely far too long overdue
Despite your steady, fatal resolution
Their heavens can hardly turn their ears to one such as you
This is your night time
It sees you cradling its knife
This is your night time
It sees you drinking of its waters
That you might fall beneath those waves of, oh so, anxious sympathy
It is that night time
For which such anxious hearts must surely bleed
While I might seek my vaults of long-discarded pity
My laughter – it can only last for hours
Might I, with a listless argument and reason chance to deliver you
Like some late-come avenger?
What is this that might seek to pierce your breast as you
Sit with prayer silent by your side?
A sinister smile
Might play upon insipid lips
Whilst sorry, splendid faiths beg leave to desert you
Steal away, for awhile
This is your night time
It sees you cradling its knife
This is your night time
It sees you drinking of its waters
That you might fall beneath those waves of, oh so, anxious sympathy
It is that night time
For which such anxious hearts must surely bleed
