"VIRTUE, DREAMS BEYOND DREAMS"
(C. DeCracken)
[spoken]
Virtue, come free me
Virtue, come save me
How I love you
How I need you
This life of sin
kills me deep within
Everything is wrong
Everything is Hell
This lie of indulging pleasure
has brought me more misery
Experimenting with sin
has made me evil
"A little sin"
is too much sin
[m.b. Dark Angel, The Ascent] "You can't believe how vile sin is in the eyes of God"
Replace iniquity
with innocence
Quell agression
with passivity
Balance desire
with sacrifice
I understand now
To be good
is a conscious choice
I choose it
Virtue, chastise me
Take me to your temple
and let me meditate in your chamber of sanctity
Flying through golden halls of wisdom
my soul is changed through waters of purity
Virtue, fill me with righteousness
I have replaced impulsiveness
wiht chastity and self control
My lips once so perverse
now clean with prayers
I do not
satisfy sinful desires
I deny them
I renounce them
Memories of you from my youth
come to me in fruition and bloom
Virtue, make me holy
Feeling you in my arms
there is nothing else that I want
I have become something else
I have found home
Virtue, abide with me
I am free
I am fulfilled
We are one
my dream and angel
my queen and lover
