Act 5 - Sacristy Songtext
von Axamenta

Even today my complaint is bitter
His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning
If only I knew where to find him
If only I could go to his dwelling!
I would state my case before him
And fill my mouth with arguments
I would find out what he would answer me
And consider what he would say to me
And there I would be delivered forever from my judge
(Job 23:02)

Many a day has since come to pass
Memory lane runs through the underclass
Paved with contempt, ′cause
Your fevered seizures, were devil-sent


Woe the day your eyes cried blood
Damned to possession by men of the cloth
Beaten and broken, you ran out the door
Over the ice 'till it held no more

On this day I let the frozen lilypond take you away
In a crystal coffin
Reaching hands, scratching underneath the ice
Prelude your elegy
As I say farewell
To your fading eyes

I beseech the storm of heaven, howling purgatorial
"Void the night that corrodes my faith in thee
By thy splendour, null the fear inside of me"

"Holy Father, a madness gathers, rumbling, vociferous
Like bronzen beasts, within these ancient walls
A harrowing fright appals"

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?
(Psalm 27:1)
