I stood before my father, begged him to reveal the answer

‘You are my children born into sin, punish yourself before life begins’

‘I’ll make you drop to your knees, you’ll answer to no one but me’

Embraced into another’s faith, I was pushed towards a living grave

Saw consciousness nailed to the cross, holy men or willing slaves?

We’re not guilty for a mythical crime, passed through the ages and nothing is there

No blood will save us and nothing is there, the sky is heavy with abandoned prayer
