Ressurection (6th Communion)

The ceremony cradles my head in trance
I brush dust from my teeth
Fleeing hands and spider
Plead for salvation
They wash the clawed feet of a priest
Ritual mockery rectified doubt
I'm holding with arms open wide
Sleeping endless sleep
On a bed of nails
Wake me up with your kiss

I'm waiting for consummation
I'm waiting for confrontation
I'm waiting for contemplation
Waiting for a place to
Lay my body down

The proud encasing of another soul
Buried deep 'neath the shroud
Flourished with the venom
Of the serpent's son
I close my eyes, retreat
The prayer hand lays down
On the edge of my sleep
Sister death in leper's guise
Through crimson eyes
Of the holy one
All will learn to see

I'm waiting for consummation
I'm waiting for confrontation
I'm waiting for contemplation
Waiting for a place to
Lay my body down

Invitations are invocations
To the bloody red sheets
The circle is broken
By the silence
A sacrifice of one

I'm waiting for consummation
I'm waiting for confrontation
I'm waiting for contemplation
Waiting for a place to
Lay my body down

Resurrection – past reflection
Revelation – last discretion
Confessions – confessions
Incomplete
Resurrection
