I Corinthians 118-29
Catharsis

Through the confusion you see an illusion:

In this world, sex and leprosy; God never said a word to me-

Your Eternal Soul, reduced to flesh in disease

Run the race alone between the soil and the sky

An echoing silence to answer your cries;

I have one question to ask Him, I know I've only got so much time...



Went out in the desert, dragged myself through Hell,

Bent every muscle, every nerve to the cause

Only to come face to face with:



Everyone gets what they deserve, every gets their just deserts

Everyone gets what they want

Everyone's going to die

God wants some suffering, God hates your lies

God grinds under heel when you try to survive

So relieved to discover God loves you?

Nailed to the cross of your hate for this life-

That's your faith?! Do you feel deserted?

You dragged yourself through Hell,

Believed in every word, but in Death

Only come face to face with Yourself.



The Kingdom of Heaven is Flesh,

To the ends of the earth and no more;

Every shudder, every shivering night

Until the maggots come to carry you home

When your heroes are slaughtered

Your lovers are raped, world of shit:


No one gets out alive, no escape

It's not hard to believe, is it...

That in death you will be Saved?

Went out in the desert

Dragged myself through Hell

I have a growing suspicion

That there's no secret to tell



Reap what you sow in blood red sex

Deathblood red and needle tracks

As your illusions kick the last nail in

You plead for mercy

Plead to just stop wanting

(But I) Once waited to return to claw

Now transfigured in the fire I pray:

If nothing else is left for me, to exalt in pain

I choose to bleed

To bleed



Born again, out in the desert

Walking in God's steps; whispered the secret to me-

Silence as sure as death

I went out in the desert, dragged myself through Hell

Knocking down Heaven's door

I only come face to face with

Myself.
