It Is Finished!

i've been to the place where dead men weep. where spirits go that cannot sleep. where near is far and far is deep... and i kept the silence! i've tasted the wine of human blood. known the flower still in bud. danced in the moonlight, bathed in the mud... and kissed the fertile wind! i've cried the tears of oppressed and broken. tended the fires well past smoking. kept the faith past point of hoping... now words have failed! i've born the cross God dared not deem. slept with the wolves, heard unborn screams. touched angel's wings in human dreams... washed the feet of the unwanted! 'it is finished'!
