Could a girl unlearn false cries to sin? Could a butcher shed her lamb’s bloodied skin? If this church was once a barn, like they said Could this church ever be a barn again? Could a girl unlearn false cries to sin? Could a butcher shed her lamb’s bloodied skin? Agnus Dei, he made and ate of me I made myself my I made myself my butcheress Wiping blood down the front of my nice white dress Took a cleaver, carved my heart out For a taste of claimed saintliness At the hand of a holy man who never fully gave a damn I became a butcheress
