Way down in the valley tonight.

And a blade shining oh so bright.

And there's thunder in the sky
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets.

By Thy grace guilt efface and respond

“Hence, in Thee, who art Love, the lover -is not one thing and the loved another, and the bond between them a third, but they are one and the same-Thou, Thyself, my God. Since, then, in Thee the loved is one with the lover, and being loved [is one] with loving, this bond of coincidence is an essential bond. For there is nothing in Thee that is not Thy very Essence.”
