Further My God From Thee - A Hymn of the Lancea Sanctum

Further My God From Thee
Vampire: the Requiem

Further, my God, from Thee, further from Thee!
Though in the shade of a cross thou damn'd me;
Still all my song shall be further, my God, from Thee,

Chorus: Further, my God, from Thee, further from Thee!

Though like the wanderer, sun rising higher,
Daylight shine over me, my rest a pyre;
Yet in my screams I'd be further, my God, from Thee,

Chorus

There let the way appear steps unto hell;
I know Thou send'st me to warn sinners well;
Angels to hold me off further, my God, from Thee,

Chorus

Then as I wake to the dark of the world,
Out of my stony grief speaking thy word;
So by my woes to be further, my God, from Thee,

Chorus

Or if on batlike wings, cleaving the sky,
Into the catacombs, downwards I fly,
Still all my song shall be, further, my God, from Thee.
