A withered body once of stone

Now cast out from the garden

To suffer in the sin filled world

Of dominance and shame

Gather your strength and

Carry me back to the place of my birth

Let me remember the beauty of the moment

When life first breathed into my soul

A withered body once of stone

Protect me from the rain of my sorrow

And coldness of my fear.

Silence the cracks that slowly creep and threaten

To turn my very existence into rubble and dust.

A withered body once of stone

Forgive the callous demeanoe

That has rendered us impure and forsaken

Let us seek the water that may wash away our sins

A withered body once of stone

Heavy with the weight of my compulsions

Climb the alter for

We are at sunset

Lay our sins by our feet,

Kneel and pray,

For a merciful end.
