Shibboleth
Libitina

nTreat me like dirt nI can take the hurt nAs long as you say you love me nI will try to walk on water for you nAll you need do is tread gently on me nI'll bear the burden of guilt for the world nThe pain and the blame for all that goes wrong nNo need for trickery to carry the load nOnly too willingly I'll take it on nnCouldn't you see I'd have walked through fire nJust to hear you speak my name nWith the pride and the joy you used to show? nnThe words that we said have lost all sense nIn the Babel that has engulfed me nMany are the voices saying different things nI can't hear my own in the din nMany are the lines to read between nAnd I seem suddenly to have lost my place nEven the unity that was your voice nHas shattered into barbs that pain me nnCouldn't you see I'd have walked through fire nJust to hear you speak my name nWith the pride and the joy you used to show? nnShibboleth, all meaning gone nShibboleth, it's time to move on nnCouldn't you see I'd have walked through fire nJust to hear you speak my name nWith the pride and the joy you used to show? nnThe promises we made in faith have dissolved nIn the flood of tears I have wept for you nThe firm ground on which we used to stand nSubmerged by your own knowing hand nUnderwater held until it drowned nOnly then 'Love' did you baptise it nAnd seek to return me to your arms nThe fallen with garlands now re-crowned
