Inversion


In your kingdom, would you remember me? 
Secure my black pardon, compensate my misery? 
My Lord (for though these rusted nails pierce my corrupted flesh) 
Oh my Lord (Ihave purchased nothing.) 
In your kingdom, would you remember me? 
all the things that I have owned 
have turned to dust in my hands 
and now even the whores would spit on me 
I cannot take but receive 
so receive me 
receive me 

In your kingdom, would you remember me? 
Send water, send angels 
Quench my subtle tyranny 
My Lord (even my hatred now does not feed my soul) 
Oh my Lord (it is worms in my stomach) 
In your kingdom, would you remember me? 
Lord, receive my spirit
