To Failure , dear brother, to failure
How unlike your sweet words,
Words hang useless, useless from our lips
Grant me this
Let me travel back in time
And sell my affection more dearly
Send darkest storms, lest we sleep
Crush our success to failure
In my time of comfort
Speak to me of thorns
Crush my success to failure
Now I avert my eyes,
For I never thought you'd rise
It was I who pierced your side
And still dare to call you mine
O gracious One
This sinking sand is all I have
Rescue!
Why do you seek the living among the dead?
What chance has love against this world we've made?
