Crucidiction (Tristitia)

What reveals the cross Once upon it you cry A piece of truth for the sinner A chapel's chants You pray for the dead and their remains True confessions Cardinal sin behind the curtain Hidden sins, a forbidden wine For the lord Condemned to pray words of praise For salvation Then you feel free to obey and worship Your saviour In repentance you call yourself for a prayer But deep inside your honest mind Contrixion dwells for religion Holy crucifixion, in yourself you find contradiction In the blood of Christ, no penance you will find for your inverted heart What is going on in Heaven Laughing angelwitches, a disciple's voice For the blind one At the threshold of infamy The left hand entrance awaits But a stairway to Heaven may be the answer For the blind one Sacristy vision A stain on the silent cross Inverted for reality for the chosen one Beneath the sky A preacher's torment and lies No tales of mercy No compassion for the crucified one You pray for the dead and their remains True confessions Cardinal sin behind the curtain Hidden sins, a forbidden taste... Holy crucifixion, in yourself you find contradiction In the blood of Christ, no penance you will find for your inverted heart Holy crucifixion, in yourself you find contradiction
