1.
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
I seek a foreign soul 
To spill my sorrow with
An empty hand to sip my sadness from 
I seek a godly face
To spread my being on
And an eye to cry a consolation.

2.
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
The night has dreams I know
For I have kissed them
And flesh that clings like moist moth wings
A voice that fluent farewell sings
The night has dreams Inow
For I have lost them.

 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Alone
My sorrow
Bends the night in prayer
My silent lips
Send screeching fingers
At the face of your God To scratch from it
Some almighty pity.
