Troy Clark - Thy lilium

2014-11-07 6

The mouth of the unjust speak through me
And his language shall become clear
Pray for those who suffer temptation

Since he, with striving, shall wear a crown of thorns
Speak through the frozen cuticle
Live, oh live, the skin deep bonds

How lovely, this moon, broken and mangled
How kind, this rose, bleed deep your tears
How serene, this long empty, breathe-breathe

Oh sweet pure Lilium-Have mercy on this soul
Oh Lilium, thy fires divine, greet me
Oh Lilium, sweet, sweet Lilium-Pollinate me home
