Oh the story's told been told retold
From the sacred scriptures to
the
tabloids
All the fuss and fight none above a
whisper
The soul of gold the belly
of a boy
Well they drew him from the forest
Like they draw blood
Tied him to a tree
like St. Sebastian
And he turned his head and let the
arrows fly
Through the trees, the
trees
The ornamental leaves
Boy cried wolf
Wolf don't come
Wolf within
Boy
cried wolf
In the ancient mold they're dancing
down
Calling to the moon but it
don't answer
And they fell on their knees
and passed the bowl around
And the blood the
blood the
sacramental blood
Boy cried wolf
Wolf don't come
Wolf within
Boy
cried wolf
I am the body I am the stream
I am the wake of everything
They bring me
flowers that are myself
Garlands of blood that are myself
Slain the lamb that is
himself
Torn reborn the cries of our dismay
Are nothing to the wind but whose
to
mind
Kings are lifted up and kings are thrown
Lost received retrieved
The
human tide
Innocence had its day
Innocence had its day
Innocence innocence | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
