_Pain Song_


[bless the hand that smacks me into oblivion]

and with the first blush, the first rush of agony, 
i sing the pain song...

		nou goth sonne under wode
		i see the rays now shine
		nou goth sonne under tre--
		what once was yours is mine

and i and i and i

ride the red wave ride the red wave ride the red wave

of pain

	o!  gasping...

		nou goth moon under wode
		i can't say it aloud		
		nou goth moon under tre--
		i am a broken bough

i give i sigh 
i heave i cry

and i 

ride the red wave ride the red wave ride the red wave

of pain of pain

o god, o god, i ride

cresting, cresting

		nou goth sonne under wode--
		nou goth sonne under wode--

swelling flying breathing dying

			o the crest of the wave!

			the trough the trough--

			o the resting place--i must get to

					the

					resting 

					place

		i see the rays now shine
		i see the rays now shine

the place between the waves, o there

					o god

gasp wheeze o god please--

and i ride the red wave
		ride the red wave
			ride the red wave
					of pain

hurting wailing beating flailing

swelling cresting mounting besting

		nou goth sonne under tre--
		nou goth sonne under tre--

o mary mother mine
mary maiden mother fine
o merciful mary
o saving fairy
SAVE ME

	thrashing and rough
	brutal and tough
	enough, enough

			the waves are pounding pounding pounding

o ride
ride the red sweeping wave...

ah god, i curse i sigh
	i faint i die
	i fall upon the thorns of life

	i bleed!

		nou goth moon under wode--
		nou goth moon under wode--

i hate it i hoard it
i love it i abhor it
