Javert! Javert!
Why do you toil
In pursuit of a thorn in the flesh?
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
Leaves one blinded to the fruit of the creche
We used to be friends
When you used your old name
Back when you worked for the law
But the war in your heart
That imprisons you now
Ceased fire in the manger straw
If ye strike the rock
Then the water comes forth:
Water that used to be blood
Formerly blood
And becomes blood again
And unstopped rises to flood
Four rivers flow
From the fountain of life
That nourishes the roots of the tree
From fruit that Eve took
And to Adam gave
And the knowledge they gained was the fee
With knowledge doth come
The burning within
I was thinking this room is quite hot
Put your gun on the floor
And pour me some wine
I am willing but my spirit cannot
And if ye strike the rock
Then the water comes forth:
Water that used to be blood
Formerly blood
And becomes blood again
And unstopped rises to flood
To Carthage I came
But I could not connect
Saint Thomas, he gave me advice:
If you fingers are numb
Then warm them with grace
Love’s a vessel that’s doomed to be lost
The thunder of spring
Commands you to stand
In the shadow that’s formed out of light
Our cargo is breached
Our secrets found out
That’s relief that you’re feeling so bright
And if ye strike the rock
Then the water comes forth:
It’s water that used to be wine
Formerly wine
And becomes wine again
And unstopped rises to flood
