Lyrics:

Adorned daggers, ruby hilted swords
Unfailing crosses, striking mortal cords
Huge violent serpents in volumes rolled
All holy poisons poured in cups of gold
Ooh these instruments so blessed and old
Here lies death's sceptre - truth untold
Without mercy or

Love, forgiveness - exile me
Blades of goodness set me free
Madness my destiny
Alone forever exile me

Sharp swords, bright lightnings set brave souls free
Past God's blind eyes through infinity
Of all these vessels transformed to clay
Rich ashes blown to dust - swept away!
Now take me steel to the gift of skies
Deliver me from weakness from this flesh that rides
Without pity or

Love, forgiveness - exile me
Blades of goodness set me free
Madness my destiny
Alone forever exile me

Ooh, to think how pleasant your touch would be
That all my lovely limbs would fall away
And drop to nothing in their soft decay


Unto my frail heart, the worms shall find a door
Enter the weary pulp - into the core!
As all of my flesh lay soft on the floor
Released this soul from me, forevermore!
Into the loud tide screaming silent words
Out of this dreary world in screeching awe, without earthly

Love, forgiveness - exile me
Blades of goodness set me free
Madness my destiny
Alone forever exile me
