Sacrament Lyrics

Nobody told me that this was my body

I never believed it was mine

The bride and the virgin

The child at the church

Seeking something like permanence

Somebody sold me this was not my body

I never believed it was mine

The servant, the daughter

Awaits at the slaughterhouse

Ten for your tokens and signs

But...

Ohhhh, today I touched my skin

And sank into the earth

My blood turned into wine

My death became my birth

The sacred science

Uncomfortable silence

The solemn unsettling vow

The servant, the daughter

Awaits at the altar

They will veil their faces now

The roots and the water

The fire and the lover

The song and the sight and the crown

The seeker, the waking

The self-revelating

The veil is untethering now

Ohhhh, today I touched my skin

And sank into the earth

My blood turned into wine

My death became my birth

I Am...the sovereign of my hidden and revealed parts

I Am...possessor of my flesh

I Am...the savior of my beaten and abused heart

I Am...Forever and Amen

(Forever and ever Amen)

Health in the navel

Bones and the marrow

Strength in the sinew

Power, the power, the power

Health in the navel

Bones and the marrow

Strength in the loins

Power, the power, the...

Ohhhh, today I touched my skin

And sank into the earth

My blood turned into wine

My death became my birth

Ohhhh, today I touched myself

And felt the firmament

My blood turned into wine

My sweeter sacrament
