I don't know your name...

Halut be thy name

Yet I refuse to learn it

Holy places and scriptual paradox

Endless but evasive promises

And life's great paradigm shift


I've been trasposed

and hence abandoned devoutness

Taken up the secular

I live my days without fear

Forsaken it like laughter


Emotionless I walk

A daze of time blurring by

Drunk on passionless lust

Stumbling home with my disease

Tomorrow the game starts anew


Your name I have erased

Wonder perplexes the mind

Lasting forever onward

I listen for cries of anguish

I listen for cries of joy
