Wine and Wheat

All I know
Is marble and stone
Eyes that don't leave
Watching over me
Whispers in Ave Marias and Grant us peace

Dona nobis pacem
Miserere nobis
God have mercy on them
God have mercy on me

All I know
I'm holy alone
With filth-ridden fever dreams
Oh, she sings
Prayers without words, yet she worships me

Dona nobis pacem
Miserere nobis
God have mercy on them
God have mercy on me

Hold my tongue in your teeth, oh, sinner
Penitence on my knees, oh, deliver me
What am I to believe when the wine and the wheat
Stain me this sinner's red I bleed?

All I know
Is paper-thin scripture
Holding the weight of my soul
The pages are worn, and the lesson is torn
If my heart is his to burn or keep

Dona nobis pacem
Miserere nobis
God have mercy on them
God have mercy on me

Hold my tongue in your teeth, oh, sinner
Penitence on my knees, oh, deliver me
What am I to believe when the wine and the wheat
Stain me this sinner's red I bleed?

Give me strength in the sea, oh, sinner
Be the light that I see when the light has left me
When you hold me, I feel holy
When you kiss me, I
Bleed
Whoa

All I know
You love me so
But that still leaves
Something sick in me
