Budapest Symphony Orchestra “Ride of The Valkyries”
I wear this crown of thorns
Of mine own volition
Bear this burdensome cross
As I assume mine position for
Looming crucifixion
Five Precious Wounds
Tis mine conferment this day
Both hands and feet breached by
Rusted iron nails
Securing me firmly in place
Lance driven forcefully
Through mine chest
From the side
To content a baying crowd
Who frequent these grounds
Purely and surely to see me die
Hath been despised and rejected
Endured unutterable pain
And mine own blood would not so much as glance mine way
Even though it was on account of these sins that I bore these pains
In the first place
Mercilessly beaten as result of the evil He did
Healed by the punishment I suffered
Made whole by the blows I received
Hath long since been forsaken
By mine own Father
I served him ever faithfully
Yet, He abandoned me to the
World of the dead
Howbeit, from this abandonment
Mine glory hath awakened
The scripture… it twists
To suit version of events
Scribed for thirty pieces of silver
Denying sympathy for He
From whom we are
Warned to deliver
Forgive me Father
For I hath sinned
Furthermore, I shalt dress in the
Greatest of renown
For this one selfless act sacred
And as I exhale my very last
I shalt extract great assuage
From the fact there is still
Breathing space
In a world that doth congest
With judgment and hatred
I kneel before thee naked
Swear unending kinship to thee Lucifer
Of mine own volition
Should’st it be required that I suffer
To offer food and shelter to another
Then I shalt bleed red wine
Mine flesh be bread to break
Mine bones provide the shade
Beneath which to recover
The passion of a Christ such as I is that of considerate lover
Doth bless these grounds as we sit down for one last intimate supper
And I wash thine most divine feet
In tears of the Christ
I bear this flimsy cross
Of mine own volition
Devout to no end as I
Assume mine position
Tis thine jurisdiction
Dark Angel
Mine Brother
For thine is still kingdom
Of power
Of glory
Mine life wish to see thee realise
Thine own divine vision
For ours is the
One true religion
From now until never
Amen
