Kneeling before the carnal demon machine On hands and knees she swallows divinity Begging for forgiveness, the blessing of a kiss The essence of denial, the pleasure of her sin Father, please, embrace me My lusts I lay unto thee. Free me from temptation May you scourge this skin with the seeds of salvation She’s crying beneath an image An image of a hundred thorns Rivers that calm, rivers that lie Thorns like nails driven into her flesh Ecstasy nailed to the cross Holy water pouring off my breasts On hands and knees I swallow divinity A picture that calms, a picture that lies I’m drowning in the face of Jesus Christ
