My Chant and the World

I have led the tunnels Depth of shadows The shivers of dread I can reach the lights and zenith I have lost you The things I did wrong And those I failed to do I will find love aright I have found difference In both the locus – And its spatial might I know the way of bridges I am now so naked Temptations and broken will All have indeed sinned I – by God – will make saint Our sun is hotter The ice melting, oceans rising The earth is ill, her healing In changing the world!
