lyrics
Augustine - IV. Fall
Every empire falls
And the strong grow frail
Spirit rises-up
But the corpus fails
Vandals breach the gate
Penetrate the wall
Laying waste to all
That's perishable
Melt away the dross
But the Good remains
This, the crucible
These, the purgatorial flames
Well, it doesn't work
And it isn't sure
Myth and paradox
Make the path obscure
Every empire falls
And the strong grow frail
Spirit rises-up
But the corpus fails
Mortify the flesh
Burn away the shame
This, the crucible
These, the purgatorial flames
Jilted companion
Blest mother and lost son
I have loved myself
More than anyone
I have loved myself
More than anyone
Before the nimbus-crown
Before the Beatific Vision
There's the falling down
And the perdition
