Confession and Absolution
CONFESSION
For love to be true then it should be free,
But she is not free; she’s married to him.
I said it didn’t matter, let it be;
Exposed my soul at the ungodly rim
I did not choose her on a wish or whim
Yet nothing prepared me for all this pain
Even knowing my chances were worse than dim
I would wait and let love send me insane
And like a beast cast out into the rain
I searched her holy path of blood and gore
While knowing where her sweet heart would remain
Until my soul screamed: it could take no more.
I was seeking her call of ‘I love you’
I wanted to believe, love; but I knew.
ABSOLUTION
I called the Lady to stand by my side
As on my knees I knelt in humble prayer
Forgive me goddess for all I denied
Show me once more thy truth that thou art there
Here forever, now and everywhere
Show me thy beauty in the silver light
Let me feel the tenderness of thy care
Release me from this dark unholy night
So I may strive to know of all that’s right
And serve thy will with chalice and with blade
Cast out my demons from glorious sight
As I renew the promise I had made
Queen of Darkness! Help me, heal me, love me
Lady of Night! Bring me home, back to thee.
