Six fifteen, I lie awake –
There's a whirlwind in my head
I feel that there can be no doubt
That – really – God is dead
Half past ten and time stands still –
“Have mercy – on me – if you can –“
My lips suppress a sneer about
Someone's – so-called masterplan
Ten to one, a full canteen –
Thoughts of incarnation –
A power strong enough to want
To lead these faces – to salvation –
It's four, I can't withhold a curse –
As I hear cathedral bells –
I'm scowling at the leaden clouds
That seem to rain on no one else
Midnight and the night's too bright –
There is no other way I see –
I clasp my hands and whisper words
That he may give you back to me
