Easter Hymn

 Make no mistake; there will be no forgiveness; 
No voice can harm you and no hand will save; 
Fenced by the magic of deliberate darkness 
You walk on the sharp edges of the wave; 

Trouble with soul again the putrefaction 
Where Lazarus three days rotten lies content.
 
Your human tears will be the seed of faction 
Murder the sequel to your sacrament.
 

The City of God is built like other cities: 
Judas negotiates the loans you float; 
You will meet Caiaphas upon committees; 
You will be glad of Pilate's casting vote.
 

Your truest lovers still the foolish virgins, 
Your heart will sicken at the marriage feasts 
Knowing they watch you from the darkened gardens 
Being polite to your official guests.
