[00:31.456]Why do you stand by the window
[00:37.456]Abandoned to beauty and pride
[00:44.111]The thorn of the night in your bosom
[00:50.555]The spear of the age in your side
[00:56.000]Lost in the rages of fragrance
[01:02.111]Lost in the rags of remorse
[01:08.789]Lost in the waves of a sickness
[01:14.121]That loosens the high silver nerves
[01:19.777]Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
[01:23.007]Oh tangle of matter and ghost
[01:32.000]Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
[01:37.453]And the whole broken-hearted host
[01:42.454]Gentle this soul
[01:50.345]And come forth from the cloud of unknowing
[01:57.444]And kiss the cheek of the moon
[02:03.111]The New Jerusalem glowing
[02:09.111]Why tarry all night in the ruin
[02:15.343]And leave no word of discomfort
[02:21.111]And leave no observer to mourn
[02:27.333]But climb on your tears and be silent
[02:32.898]Like a rose on its ladder of thorns
[02:38.888]Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love...
[02:45.456]Oh tangle of matter and ghost
[02:55.787]And the whole broken-hearted host
[03:01.897]Gentle this soul
[03:09.888]Then lay your rose on the fire
[03:15.777]The fire give up to the sun
[03:21.895]The sun give over to splendour
[03:27.567]In the arms of the high holy one
[03:33.555]For the holy one dreams of a letter
[03:39.565]Dreams of a letter's death
[03:44.898]Oh bless thee continuous stutter
[03:50.765]Of the word being made into flesh
[03:56.444]Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love...
[03:58.888]Gentle this soul
