our bodies make lines
\nand our hearts beat
\nrepent, repent<\/p>\n

make us more honest in
\nforty days
\nconversion time<\/p>\n

prepare us, Mystery,
\nfor an eternity
\nwith you, true Love<\/p>\n

create in us clean hearts
\ndraw us closer–
\nLove, we are yours<\/p>\n

You are our heartbeat
\nYou are our way
\nhelp us fast, pray<\/p>\n

lines of ash pressed into
\nour faces, worn with love
\nrenewed, restored<\/p>\n

the lines of time move
\nforward; we embrace
\nour destiny<\/p>\n

death comes for us all
\nour graves are ahead
\ndust. ash. dust. ash<\/p>\n

our bodies make lines
\nand our hearts beat
\nrepent, repent<\/p>\n
