Liturgy Lyrics

I thought You lived in slit wrists

The dogs taught me to worship

The violence of reverence

Carved me into a human

Heard a King and His men

And He spoke in my accent

And He was willing to hold me in His hands

I bled and I bled

Til I had to admit it

I veiled my flesh

And it still got infected

Peeled at the paint

Til it chipped off the ceiling

Left a bitter taste-

It is written, it is living

Staring through me, it's not finished

Every jot is still breathing

I'll succumb to this motion

I'll break my digits for it

I'll recast them into a tight grip

So I can hold onto them

So I can succumb to this motion

I'll submit to the sound

Bow beneath The Crowned

I hear it now

The fanfare of a crowd

Leading me to the gate

With tears I'll wait

For Him to say

"You'll be with Me today"

I'll submit to the sound

Bow beneath The Crowned

I hear it now

The fanfare of a crowd

Leading me to the gate

With tears I'll wait

For Him to say

"You'll be with Me today"

"Blessed is the Kingdom"

And I'm prostrate before the King

Through the pleas of Your servants

Please accept me
