[01:47.83]Genuflection, erection in church.
[01:58.02]Sacristy cloth, moth-eaten shroud.
[02:09.97]Secret silence, sacred secrets
[02:20.31]accumulate dust, aggravate the eye.
[02:41.31]Incautious laughter after confession.
[02:51.98]Benediction, fictional fear.
[02:59.94]Hidden faces...Grace is a name,
[03:06.51]like Chastity, like Lucifer, like mine.
[03:27.05]You took me through the window-stain,
[03:34.99]drowned in image, incense,
[03:38.04]choir-refrain and slow ecstasy.
[03:43.76]I'd embrace you if I only knew your name.
[04:00.65]The silent corner haunts my shadow prayers.
[04:12.15]ice-cold statue, rapture divine,
[04:29.79]unconscious eyes, the open mouth,
[04:35.93]the wound of love,
[04:37.75]the Lie.
[04:58.57]You took me, gave me reasons for
[05:06.45]saints and missals, vigils,
[05:09.23]all the more holy martyrs.
[05:14.54]I'd embrace you and walk through
[05:18.29]the one-way door.
[05:41.72]I'd embrace you, but it would be
[05:49.82]just another lie.
