lyrics

To your high state I have fought to be received
By the word wait, I will kiss your many feet
To be touched again hold me down draw it deep
Recite the hymn I lay the alter light the seed
Refuse all other love call you heathen call you sweet
Paint my eyes crawl in the dark upon the heath
Lay down all other thought except the one that draws me deep
Into your arms again into your arms

Did we say it was love we sought
In the throes of a failing word
Oh I pray to her pray to be received
Ruin my many loves stay within the eaves

& to your wild face as you turn the other cheek
I will rely pray, for your mercy for a piece
Of your cold revival before the mountain at the gate
Of the ruling word that lovers choke to celebrate &

Did we lay with the broken thought
Tie the hands of a failing love
Oh I pray to her pray to be released
From my martyred tongue from my never be

Hymns to the violence
Hymns to the sundered I
Pray to the silence
To be above her &
Before your wildness
Before your alter I
Crave all your violence
Crave all the hunger &
I was not fallen
I was not sundered I
Moved with a wildness
Spoke with the thunder &
I was not hiding from
I was not broken I
Moved with a kindness
Spoke with a wonder
I was your wildest I
Craved all your hunger &
Held you in highest love
Before the alter &
Hymns to your eyes yea
Hymns to your warring warring word
I was not broken or bowed
Know my hope know my love
I was alone.
