Christ and the pale queensI am without origin and from whom every beginning comes forthI am the ancient of days to declare that i am a day by myselfAlone I am the day that does not shine by the sun rather by meThat the sun is ignited I am the reason that it isNot made perceptible by anyone elseRather I am the oneI own every being that lives, draws breath, and soothes to gaze at my countenanceI have created mirrors in which I consider myself without endThrough wonders of my originality i have prepared for myself these mirrorsSo they may revend and maintain song of praiseFor I have a voice like a thunderbolt by which i keep in motion the entire universeIn the living sounds of all creation and this I have done who am the ancient of daysBy my word which was and is without beginning i calls all the mighty lights to emergeAnd in this light countless sparks which are angelsBut when the angels came to awareness withint their lightThey forgot me and wanted to be as i amTherefore the vengeance of my punitive zeal rejected in thunderclaps those beingsWhich had presumed to contradict meFor there is only one God and no other but meChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowAnd we bow our knees before himWho is dead from the beginningAnd his law was the law of the liesAnd his temples were temples of painHis Christ and his pale queens mighty in sorrowWith their dogma and their doctrine of deceitHe created thw world in his glorySo we should offer him praiseBut Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrowWait in judgment with their feet bathed in bloodChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowA world without end, amenFrom Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrowA trinity of lies and deceitAnd their love was for them and their friendsAnd their lies for books they wroteAnd their deceit bring down my painAnd the mushroom clouds were fallingChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowShall wait at the end of all timeWill you believe in a God that is dead?Who may die in an article of faithWhose beauty is nailed to our faceA Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrowThe fates and faith of the deadSometimes falling softly like winter's snowSometimes falling ice so hard with red rain made of bloodChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowA throne at the end of the roadWe shall crawl with our knees so brokenRipped and torn and burned and pulled and dragged on the wayWe were turning, we were burning in the firesAnd the people that stoked it are theyIt was Christ that left tenants of loveThe Armageddon angels of blissApocalypse with a kissFrom Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowAnd every Apocalypse was theirsAnd the fun of the fare, impaledAnd their flames were the shadows on our livesFlames filled with warTurning and burning at the godsOf Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrowHow much longer do we live under a cloudIn the shadow of shit that they gave usEvery religion has its priceAnd we have all paid and paid and paid and paidAgain and again and againAnd we carry our pain in our bloodHe was not alone when he shed the red fluid of his lifeIt was finished for him but not usAnd they stand still in their judgment of usOh Christ and the pale queensChrist and the pale queensAnd soon their turn shall comeWill they turn on the rack as beforeAnd dogs cast their throats to the sunAs we cast down these idolsOh Christ and your pale queens mighty in sorrowGive us your blessing, give us your hearingLook upon on us your children with loveWe have sinned, we have burned, we are wrongBut give us your blessing, not your vengeanceOh Christ and your godsChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist!Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrowLook on this, look on this your handiworkAll of this is yoursChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowAgain and again you give and you take awayAnd all that we are left with now is filthGentle, innocent and mildMighty one is love aloneMy saviour's love to meLove to the lovelessSo that we might love theeGentle, Jesus is a shineYou in your sole cornerAnd me in mineI am the law of the lawsHe came down from heavens and danced on the earthThe tune of Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrowAnd wars upserged the flame of locustsAnd many years of many more to comeThanks to Christ and the pale queens mighty in sorrowAnd give every Christmas wrapped in the colour of the pale sheep of GalileaNail to each promiseOh Christ and the pale queens give us mercyThey're so good and they're so fineGiver and taker of lifeA kiss from the ApocalypseChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrowChrist and the pale queens mighty in sorrow
