Ode After Litany Lyrics


I'm your God!

Don't idolize!

Don't curse me!

Don't steal!

Don't cheat!

No slaughtering!

Oh, God of Prohibition

What is your offer to me, then?

This pain?!

I'm longing for your light

In this mud

Declare my Ode after litany!

Don't hurry my child!

Throw down again for all the times

I lie down in endless space

Mentor to myself, begin it wrong

Not perfectly enough

I'm his Equal!

Will you obey?

You must hate!

You must curse!

You must kill!

No regret!

Oh, God of Opposite

What is your offer to me, then?

More pain?

I'm companion in our blind

In this mud

Give me back my Ode after litany!

Want more, my child?

I'll give you more

Endless time

Throw down again for all the times

I lie down in smallness space

Mentor to myself, begin it right

Not perfectly enough
