Ad Baculum from Axis Mundi by Cloth

Like a swarm of ruthless thieves at night
searching the earth to and from
for those lost and forsaken sheep
that couldn’t find their way back home
What numerous multitude watches from afar
the aching bodies of the numerous victims of life?
wages are doubled and doubled yet again
through the burning of flesh that will never end

To what end does one crown such a purpose?
To what dreams to compare such a nightmare?
Compassion made of sticks and stones, whips and bones
And virtues made of clay

Lacrimosa dies illa,
qua resurget ex favilla
judicandus homo reus
Huic ergo parce, Deus
