Praise Your Name

Where are you wounded girls with

Bruised faces and blackened eyes?

Break open your glass doors

And welcome the whirling debris.

Carve your name there

In the marble and concrete.

Kill idiot violence,

Punish greed, punish me.

Run naked through the streets

Stabbing bloody eyes and scream.

I pray for you murderous;

I pray for you well-honed and clean.

I pray for you any way

Your violent nature needs you to be.

And I, I praise your name.

I praise your name.

I praise the taste of the word on your lips

And I praise your righteous, rising hate.

I praise your soft lips,

And I praise your revenge.

I praise your tenderness and your skin,

And I praise your pure uncorruptible pain.

I praise your name.

I praise your name.

I praise your name,

And I praise your name.

I like you like that

Lying there on your side.

I praise the scars on your body

And I praise your black, mirrored eyes.

I praise your name.

I praise your name.

I praise your name.

I praise your name.

You're glorious.

Glory, glorious.

Glory, glorious.

So rise above the garbage;

Leave me where I fall.

Rise above the wreckage,

Kill anything that walks.
