By your purity rise us all and from your sickening love I fall
I pray for love but from love I fall
Weep my child in this sickened delight
And pray salvation to my endless night
For over life I chose this power
For the taste of love had turned sour
You have turned away from me your head
And left me drowning in the tears I she'd
Like a dying child to you I clung
Wanting someone I had hung
I'm so diseased I'm so diseased
With a kiss like Judas I betray
My salvation consumed in decay
I know I was so sickening
You have watched me slowly as I bled
My sickening love from your withered bed
And all I love does seem to die
Please dear god my eyelids close
I gave my love a blackened rose
She took this flower and turned so old
So weep my child is this sickened delight
And pray salvation to my endless night
For over life I chose this power
For the taste of love had turned sour More from Confession of Faith
