Enslavement to Glory

Powerful, powerful                                           26

March! March! March! March!                       1

Love consumed me, overflowed me                  25

Work! Work! Work! Work!                               2

Green pastures and trees breathed the living air  24

Muck! Drudge! Sludge! Nudge!                        3

I looked into his eyes of fire                                23

Inhale Soot and Coal-dust!                               4

On His throne, reigning imperially                        22

Work harder! Die!                                              5

Winds of holiness swept through me                     21

Eat thy tongue and weep.                                  6                           

I was lifted up, amazed by wonderous lights         20

Blinde thyself and crumble                                 7

It penetrated me like a sunlit ray from God              19

Drinke thy mercurie.                                               8         

Suddenly the same golden orb pierced all space and time 18

Devour thy lusts like swine                                         9

It magnamiously turned itself to a globe for me            17

Behold, thou art naught save dust.                          10

His scarlet blood turned into Prince’s gold                  16

Thinkest that thou canst escape my chains of yore? 11

The Christ eclipsed then all lesser glory, bleeding red.    15

Yea, weep, despair and die: but repent thou not.       12

Suddenly freedom in the midst of sorrow blinded me.    14

No! I am his bloodowner and fleshmæster! NO!         13
