may the boundless
numbers of the earth rejoice
for your light has settled on me

may a soundless choir make the perfect noise
to exult your newfound allegiance
sing it, lo, sing alleluia, you return
now resigned to free what you've immured

hearing not but silence,
speaking not a sound
for you've clamped my mouth and my ears
may the countless hours i have spent so bound
be absolved by one melody now

sing it, lo, sing alleluia, oh my love

sing it loud, sing alleluia
the reluctant favor of your alms, you return

now resigned to free what you've immured

so my time's been severed by a third, you return
now resigned to free what you've immured
make a sound to venerate the spoil of your alms
sing it loud, sing alleluia
sing it loud, sing out until your lungs bleed
sing it out so loud your fucking lungs bleed
