[English]

In the first of light

past the Noachide

bodies wrapped in white

stranded every pain

baby, pasts are slain

I got outta La Grange...

in Hinnom

all this time

with your heart in mind

didn't you edit

in Hinnom

go, the least

and the precious feast

the in-vetted

sand it starts to steal

dirt and ice imbed in cheeks

in the potter's field

strangers scattering

nether passage in the wind

off pennant tension ring
