All your parents wouldn't talk about
all the doctrine of death decried as evil
because only the missionary was right
As a child
you were taught
He is risen
As an adult
all you want
is to go down with another
Mea culpa
it is not
and you discover
gloria in excelsis deo
is lower than a mortal can go
when they shout
kyrie eleison
in the arms of another
Now vanquish
the notion of sin
and love in the sensations
of life

Mea culpa/through my fault
Gloria in excelsis deo/glory in the highest to god
Kyrie eleison/lord have mercy
