Lyrics

Asylum

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am no feeble, Christ, not me

He hangs in glib delight upon his cross, above my body

Christ forgive

Forgive?

I vomit for you, Jesus

Shit forgive

Down now from your cross

Down now from your papal heights, from that churlish suicide, petulant child

Down from those pious heights, royal flag bearer, goat, billy.

I vomit for you

Forgive?

Shit he forgives

He hangs in crucified delight nailed to the extend of his vision, his cross, his manhood, violence, guilt, sin

He would nail my body upon his cross, suicide visionary, death reveller, rake, rapist, lifefucker

Jesu, earthmover

Christus, gravedigger, you dug the pits of auschwitz, the soil of treblinka is your guilt, your sin, master, master of gore, enigma

You carry the standard of your oppression

Enola is your gaiety

The bodies of hiroshima are your delight the nails are your only trinity, hold them in your corpsey gracelessness, the image i have had to suffer

The cross is the virgin body of womenhood that you defile

You nail yourself to your own sin

Lamearse jesus calls me sister there are no words for my contempt, every woman is a cross in is filthy theology, in his arrogant delight

He turns his back upon me in his fear, he dare not face me

Fearfucker

Share nothing you christ, sterile, impotent, fucklove prophet of death

You are the ultimate pornography, in your cuntfear, cockfear, manfear, womanfear, unfair, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare

Jesus died for is own sins, not mine
