My soul is weary of my life I will leave my complaint upon myself I will speak in the bitterness of my soul I will demand of God that you condemn me It matters not wherefore thou contends with me It is good unto me that thou shouldest oppress That thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands And shine upon the counsel of the wicked A madman's lantern falls broken upon unfeeling ground What once was holiest has bled to death under our knives Who will wipe this blood off us? Who will wipe this blood off us? Thy days are as the days of man For thou art mortal and shall diminish Thou knowest that I am wicked (I am wicked) And there is none that could deliver thou out of my hand A madman's lantern falls broken upon unfeeling ground What once was holiest has bled to death under our knives Who will wipe this blood off us? Who will wipe this blood off us?
