Judgment

Judgment ,
this I fear
God's hand,
wrath of years
a thought, 
whisper, 
turn of fate
Karma ends, 
but God will wait

This I fear, 
and tremble through
God is love, 
but hatred too
last night, 
the other, 
a thousand more
how long O Grace, 
will you endure?

shake the temple
rattle gates
God is love
and perfect hate
I have no blame
blame is mine
judgment day
naked shrine

I fear, 
alone and dust
judgment come
for judgment must
let the weight
on shoulders hang
not on my back
not in my vein

I can not pay
just deserve
the longest day
i can not hurt
enough
no pain
no shackles strong,
can hold me for
my sin, too long

superlative and seductive as God that is ambiguous, both angry and peaceful
