Baptism

Et Vidimus Gloriam Eius

Baptism


I am the church for his light 
I am holy 
Embrace me Pentagrammaton 

Peccare et mentiri contra dominum et aversi sumus 

I see everything clearly as through crystal 
I see that everything I touch have died long ago 
I see how the liquid shapes of life are only a dream 
sand through my fingers, vanity uncountable and endless 

Spoliavit me gloria mea et abstulit coronam de capite meo 

Although in this abyss I have understood 
how the darkness itself is so tender, the pain so adorable I have cried to its beauty and laughed to its fear 
These long years, which crawl on the mirror surface of my mind like some slimy, sluggish creatures 
as simulaera or messengers of some unknown and tremendous horrors 
which I see only vaguely, only suspecting 
without names, more real than everything 

Hosanna in profundis 

And the knife, altar and the sign of Satan 
are besides before me, in me and in my mind at every moment 
in every agonized minute 
and as I scream to God, to the night 
I don't know if my voice is a praise or a cry of some tormented animal 
endlessly blood drips from my heart unto this vessel, 
amazing exploding beauty, my Master and my God 

Erat lux vera
