lyrics

I spark no light through myself,
By myself I need no light.
I don't need to see.
I need no light to need.
I am complete,
Ready to kill.

I Discern your command over me,
The height where you stand.
The hand above me,
Your freedom, despite me.
Oh! How it spites me,
The fact of your power.

I fight my desire, Your light
Shining through me.
Guiding me where I don't want to go.
Teaching me what I don't want to know.
Taking me from my complete self.

Your sharp cutting light
fractures the whole.
I sit in resentment, as I'm out of control.

Alone, I'm at peace,
I don't need to see.
I am complete.
Ready to kill...

I have a preference
To be embodied
In the limits of darkness
Where I collect then un-see.
I'm at war with desire, it’s insistence to offer
My gift of submission, I'm incomplete.

Your height is above me,
Light shining through me,
And I keep escaping,
Destroying pure contemplation.
I'm naked shame,
And I have been taken.
In my separation, we were the same.
Now, I'm at your mercy,
As you're shining through me,
Making me wonder, have I ever been worthy?

I like the dark where only I dwell.
At war with desire,
I want to kill the excess of myself.

Your sharp cutting light
I sit in resentment, as I'm out of control.

Alone, I'm at peace,
I don't need to see.
I am complete.
Ready to kill...
