Sharpened blade

Steady hand

Slice and spill

The living water

Cremation

To presence a nexion

Father descends upon us

Lord, as your Word directs, I offer up this body to you

Each breath

A prayer

Repay Midian

with slaughter

Each breath

A prayer

Repay Midian

With slaughter

Awaiting a manifestation, crimson hands beating on drums

Restless devotion, sleepless eyes

Words of praise, incantations, spoken again and again

I offer you this sacrifice

Lord, as your Word directs, I offer up this body to you

Turning jugular veins into fountains of youth

Priests painted red, chanting in a circle

As the column of smoke becomes a gateway

Words spoken and deeds done

Human flesh, burning on the altar of sacrifice

Each breath

A prayer

Repay Midian

with slaughter

Each breath

A prayer

Repay Midian

With slaughter
