:43:01
I'll cross my arms
when they ask for help...

:43:04
cover my eyes to avoid their
wounds...

:43:06
turn a deaf ear to their cries...
:43:09
I'll shrug if the house tumbles
to the ground.

:43:14
I did not get what I wanted,
I'll have no pity for the world!

:43:20
To love and to be loved
was all I asked...

:43:24
but I was cast off unfairly.
:43:27
I was amputated.
:43:28
I'm now in the brotherhood
of rejects...

:43:32
of the forbidden,
the unloved...

:43:35
the afflicted,
the anxious...

:43:37
the restless, the writhing...
:43:40
of the brotherhood
of tainted foreheads...

:43:42
bearing the ashen scar of
sacred envy...

:43:45
of the thirsty for
equality and justice...

:43:47
those who eventually
end up bowing to Evil!

:43:51
His whispering forces us
against the current...

:43:55
his harsh breath
scratches our ears.

:43:58
Seducting us until we reject
the fragile solidity of order,

:44:02
those stone buildings,
:44:03
constructed on
weeping shoulders!

:44:05
He is the first, the only,
the sovereign!

:44:12
Your generous God
is just a servant.

:44:17
He doesn't see his own laws
fuel the Eternal Fire!

:44:43
I feel a new wave coming on...
:44:50
I feel like piercing your saints.
:44:54
Your tender angels...
:44:58
I want to bite into
the heart of your Christ!
