Praise Your Name

Where are you wounded girls

With bruised faces and blackened eyes

Break open your glass doors

Welcome the whirling debris

Carve your name there

In the marble and concrete



Kill idiot violence

Punish greed, punish me

Run naked through the streets

Stabbing bloody eyes and scream

I pray for you murderous

I pray for you well-honed and clean

I pray for you any way

Your violent nature needs you to be



And I, I praise your name

I praise your name

I praise the taste of the word on my tongue

And I praise your righteous rising hate

I praise your soft lips

And I praise your revenge

I praise your tenderness and your skin

And I praise your pure incorruptible pain



I praise your name

I praise your name

I praise your name

And I praise your name



I like you like that

Lying there on your side

I praise the scars on your body

And I praise your black-mirrored eyes

I praise your name

I praise your name

I praise your name

I praise your name



You're glorious

Glory... glorious

Glory... glorious



So rise above the garbage

Leave me where I fall

Rise above the wreckage

Kill anything that walks
