song of the dead

feel guilt too deeply 
and sin too sharp
fault inscribed 
upon his heart

not a word in counter
of moral pagan silence
rise to writhe a'mourning
a nothingness so violent

turn the day
and dread the night
enact the sacrificial rite
but have you heard
or perhaps read
our sacred sacrificed 
"god is dead?"

leapt not to sky
for endless search
but into man 
to heavy earth

what sort of beast
with heart of God
can know forever
and earth still trod?
