I told myself
To g!ve !t uþ
The womb of wealth
Of vasted croþ.
I made a mark
I made my þath
I bade God's ark
To þlease my heart.
The grasses bleed
Off w!lt'd brown
To scr!þture-creed
I won't bow down.
I made a mark

Off w!lt'd brown
To scr!þture-creed
I won't bow down.
Let end be end
That Heaven-l!ne
I know no fr!end
Nor bloody-b!nd.
My l!fe !s dead
She lays !n sleeþ
And all she bled
Are death's to keeþ.
Do ch!me my seeds
My tale of woes
Such s!n-f!ll'd deeds
Of Heaven-foes.
I was a man
I was a ch!ld
From glory bann'd
To drown Earth-w!de.
Let sheeþ be sheeþ
And weeds be weeds
I shall death reaþ
For all my deeds.
I told myself
To g!ve !t uþ
The sack of breath
And þoetr!c thought.
I know no fr!end
Nor bloody-b!nd.
My l!fe !s dead
She lays !n sleeþ
And all she bled
Are death's to keeþ.
Do ch!me my seeds
My tale of woes
Such s!n-f!ll'd deeds
Of Heaven-foes.
I was a man
I was a ch!ld
From glory bann'd
To drown Earth-w!de.
Let sheeþ be sheeþ
And weeds be weeds
I shall death reaþ
For all my deeds.
I told myself
To g!ve !t uþ
The sack of breath
And þoetr!c thought.
