The aureole shatters
Realigning itself
The glory rescinded
The deficiency revealed
The way of all flesh
Has corrupted even He
Corpus Christi
Swallowing grass and dirt
Insects and bones
Inhaling the light of man
The dimming light of a coil so empty
Other lights reflect from that fractured visage
As if reborn out of its destruction
Striving in infinite directions
Yet unified in a single beam
A dismal voice booms across the plains
Over the oceans and sky
Burned into our minds:
'Adeste Fideles'
