Song for the Knife

A call from the empty chambers
From the small and the weak

Reach into the deep, siblings
Reach into the deep, cousins
Taken from among the many stars by the King
Shaped anew and set adrift

We were nothing
We are nothing
We will be nothing

Raise your soundless voices
Raise your arms in prayer signs
Feel the curdling in the deepest dark
A new shape for the god

Multiply your nullity
Expand the nothing of your heart
Every night anew, every evening again
Let vacancy call a new tenant

Our plea begs an answer
Our abjection creates mastery
Our vessel without a pilot
Demands a shipmaster's hand

We were nothing
We are nothing
We will be nothing

Repetition is our guide
Make habit of prayer
Perform ritual, siblings
Speak liturgy, cousins

And feel the pull of the King's throne
As star forms from dust
A new voice rises from the sea of screams

It answers our belief
It rises to our song
Our shipwreck gone adrift
Will be guided to shore

We were nothing! Command us!
We are nothing! Command us!
We will be nothing! Command us!

O new silent voice in the dark
Be our will, our guide, our king
Command us!
