Take this enmity Not dark but blackness Will you rebel Pure wickedness itself? Evil in the concrete Sin in its essence You will rebel In fury you are crushed And so the clay says "why did you make me like this?" Can I receive mercy for all of my unbelief? And do you feel it and do you feel the pull? And can you take it? And let it push you through (Take this enmity) (Not dark but blackness) (Will you rebel) (Pure wickedness itself?) When you were of the world, the world sure loved his own Have you not chosen me out of this muck and mire And so they hate you, they hate you, they hate you And do you feel it and do you feel the pull? And can you take it? And let it push you through (Take this enmity) (Not dark but blackness) (Will you rebel) (Pure wickedness itself?) You thirst and hunger surrender yourselves Faithless nation Faithless nation Did he foreknow us Faithless nation How sick my heart I am ashamed They say he stretched out on the rack Tortured by me, determined man But will he send for us? Send for us? Take this enmity Not dark but blackness Will you rebel Pure wickedness itself? Evil in the concrete Sin in its essence You will rebel In fury you are crushed Blackness (And so the clay says "why did you make me like this?") Essence Wickedness itself (Hate you, they hate you, they hate you) Blackness Essence In fury you are crushed
