Communion

Strands of smoke
By the altar
The smell of incense
In the air

Candles flickering
In the twilight
Flames dancing
With every breath

Is your faith
Milky white?
Is your heart
Pure and bright?

From your hands
Dipped in your sins
From your hands, the body of Christ
Gets wet for me

Communion
Hoc est corpus meum

Communion
Hic est sanguinis mei

Communion
Hoc est corpus meum

Blades of light
Through the stained glass
Slowly piercing the
Holy host

His hands are shaking
He's reluctant
I can see something
In his eyes
