We, who are stumbling blindly, need a sign from Thee We have met the light, yet it only betrays us Again and again Exalted, we kissed the cross, and faithfully We sang Thy Psalms. Yet we lack meaning God's starving children In silence we pray for reprieve, yet the Sin Punishes us mercilessly For he rightfully chooses his prey And the victim is always due The temptation burdens our freedom the burden Of human corruption. The hunger dulls the Sin Yet the Sin numbs the urge Again and again Hordes of famished ascetics, kneeling in vivid ecstasy His deceitful calls gave us life God's starving offspring Emaciated corpses shall spawn martyrdom Where leprosy sprouts, fed by frustration Let the Savior walk on the ground we plow Where it’s constantly lush, the Era of Perdition Is starting to blossom
