Alone with the Cross - Fvneral Fvkk

Within the halls of the monastery

I walk the corridors in silence

A vow of abstinence and piety I made

To attain peace and holy guidance

All earthly pleasures I’ve forsworn

But when I’m desperate and forlorn

I take the crucifix down from my chamber wall

Longing to feel the Lord inside of me

The tempting body of christ puts me at a loss

My gut it hurts whenever I am

Alone with the cross

His wooden symbol bringing warmth and light

To where the sun is never shining

Makes me tremble with unholy ecstasy

Oh God, thy mercy I confide in

For this I can never atone

Heavenly father please condone

I take the crucifix down from my chamber wall

Longing to feel the Lord inside of me

The tempting body of christ puts me at a loss

My gut it hurts whenever I am

Alone with the cross

Defiled and broken, His image in my hands

Damned is my godforsaken soul

My oath no longer worth a toss

I weep in shame and bitter loss

Alone with my cross
