Kyrie Eleison
The penitent soul cries
Kyrie Eleison…

But there is no mercy for me,
No forgiveness for my sins.
Heaven helps not a monster,
Formed in a moment of aberration.

Yet… I hope.
Still I wonder:
Having known love
Long thought to me denied,
Is it possible
That He can love me too?
Can I be forgiven
For my dark and dreadful crimes?

Kyrie Eleison
Christe Eleison
Kyrie Eleison…

The ancient cry
The penitent heart's prayer
My soul cries out the agéd litany:
Is there mercy for me?
