CATHARSIS

Remember
Remember my name
David/Dwayne/Craig/Rory
David/Dwayne/Craig/Rory
At rest/at peace/gone home/pass away/steal away
Into the arms of the lord
Abide with me lord
Died

Where is
Where is the love?

The count begins
1/2/3/4
David/Dwayne/Craig/Rory
Man was not meant to lie with man
It is an abomination unto the lord

Where is
Where is the resting place/final
for the unrepentant faggot
who believed in the realness
of Diana Ross's hair
The saintly rasp of Lady Day
caught between heartache/and heroin
in the vinyl grooves/scratched and caught
God/God/Bless the child
We/I believed
And got on my knees/to thank the lord
for a body warm/with which to pass the terrors
of the night
Got on my knees to suck redemption
from a thickly veined shaft/of possibilities/endless
