I have ironed my love on the tables of grace

Hung them on the wardrobe of mercy

You have mixed my tears in the wine press of sin

Intoxicated in its sweetness to utter ruin

Now come, Dear Humanity

Let me show you the horrors of eternity

Look through the lenses of death to salvation

And see demons singing the hymns of thy destruction
