Mariah of Magdala
Part III: Judgement
Mariah of Magdala
Here comes that day
You can never get to escape
They have fought amongst themselves
They have recognized their problem
They are planning to rest the crisis
They are fighting not anymore
So the plot is gaining success.
You will not see it this time with your sharp edge eyes
For your iniquities are choking your thought
Your verdict is successful
Your life must cease existence
They have clearly prepared for the ritual
Tradition demands
Oh! Mariah of Magdala,
Your soft spirit made your innocence loud
The mockery of your womanhood
Have chaste, demanding your holiness
Like the Samaritan woman,
You hid, not to be seen or heard
In isolation, the tempter came
It came running from the chase fire
It came crawling not to be identified
It came flying not to be visible
like a swift soft wind,
It attacked your heels
Adder leaving its evidence
Setting your red wild bouquet
Sulphur burning furnace of truth
Plain is the truth in eyesight
Imprisoned the truth has got you
Its bitter taste you can now detested it
Truth pierces like a dagger in your heart
Truth has brought your knees to kiss the earth
Today you run not from the truth
Where on universe can you hide?
