A hundred thousand sickening fears
And many many years
A thousand lonely afternoons
All in homage, to my marriage to you...
And nobody watched when I wept
Over all the promises that should have been kept
No one kept a watch over me
As promised, in my marriage to you.
In a hundred thousand prayers
That made these deities my gods
I hoped that my prayers stayed, the promise of us
All in homage, to my marriage to you.
And was I tried. And I didn't tire
Of throwing myself at a wall like a beast cornered
Like life itself and salvation, depended on it.
Christian, heathen, pagan worship, religion, cult, spirituality, soothsayers, priests and the occult
All in homage to my marriage to you.
In madness, in sanity, in a trance
As if in shock I offered up
Myself
In homage to, my marriage to you.
All in homage, to my marriage to you
A hundred thousand endless tears
And many many years
A thousand lonely afternoons
All in homage, to my marriage to you.
