Similar to his work in Seven Swans, Sufjan is matching a personal narrative with biblical allusion.
The final question reveals the narrator’s attitude:
“For my prayer has always been love
What did I do to deserve this now?”
Like so many believers, Sufjan is questioning faith in light of personal...
[Verse 1]
I’m drawn to the blood
The flight of a one-winged dove
How? How did this happen?
How? How did this happen?
The strength of his arm
My lover caught me off guard
How? Head of a rabbit
How? Head of a rabbit
[Chorus]
For my prayer has always been love
What did I do to deserve this?
[Verse 2]
With blood on my sleeve
Delilah, avenge my grief
How? God of Elijah
How? God of Elijah
As fire to the sun
Tell me what I have done
How? Heart of a dragon?
How? Heart of a dragon?
[Chorus]
For my prayer has always been love
What did I do to deserve this now?
How did this happen?
