Your Violent Arms

[Verse 1]
To your high state
I have fought to be received
By the word wait
I will kiss your many feet
To be touched again
Hold it down, draw me deep
Recite the hymn I
Lay the alter, light the seed
Refuse all other love
Call you heathen, call you sweet
Paint my eyes and crawl
In the dark upon the heath
Lay down all other thought
Except the one that draws me deep again
Into your arms again
Into your arms

[Chorus]
Did we say it was love we sought
In the throes of a failing word
Oh I pray to her pray to be received
Ruin my many lovеs
Stay within the eaves

[Verse 2]
And to your wild facе
As you turn the other cheek
I will rely
I pray for your mercy for a piece
Of some cold revival
Before the mountain at the gate
Of the ruling word that
Lovers choke to celebrate and

[Chorus]
Did we lay with the broken thought
Tie the hands of a failing love
Oh I pray to her
Pray to be released
From my martyred tongue
From my never be

[Outro]
Hymns to the violence
Hymns to the sundered I
Pray to your silence
To be above her and
Before your wildness
Before your altar I
Crave all your violence
Crave all your hunger and
I was not fallen
I was not sundered I
Moved with a wildness and
Spoke with the thunder and
I was not hiding from
I was not broken I
Moved with a kindness I
Spoke with a wonder
I was your wildest I
Craved all your hunger and
I held you in highest love
Before the altar and
Hymns to your eyes
Hymns to your warring, warring word
I was not broken or bowed
Know my hope, know my love
I was alone
