The Bitterness And The Bereavement Lyrics - Meisterwerk I - My Dying Bride

adorn magnificent costume 

for I come to judge the world 

be with me here in my dark place 

let yours be mine 

cut me and I do not bleed 

heat is my body 

the poor and simple fools 

equal under my presence 

lift up your head 

blessed is the womb that bare thee 

feed us with knowledge 

release us from atrocities 

and shades of sinister figures 

bare witness to this orgy of glory 

groping at my naked privacy 

unleashing pure bitterness 

and I did bleed over them 

hindered by savage plague 

offspring wasting away 

Christ where is your mercy? 

do listen to me pray? 

cast upon us a pitying eye 

the baptism of such as is, 

of riper years 

am I blind? who are you? 

he died that you might live 

and lived only to cleanse you 

from sin's polluting stain 

if I had the chance to cut you 

believe me you would bleed 

and the rest...
