Confessional (Give Me Sodomy Or Give Me Death) - Diamanda Galas

In that house

there is no time for Compassion,

there is only time for Confession

and on his dying bed they asked him:

Do you confess?

Do you confess?

And on his dying bed the dirty angels

flying over him like buzzards asked him,

Do you confess?

Do you confess?

shshshshsh

It’s so cold

It’s so cold

shshshshs

It’s so cold

It’s so cold

Do you confess?

Do you confess?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Do you confess?

Do you confess?

Yes, I confess

Yes, I confess

When they laugh at the trial of the innocent

Yes, I confess

Let them laugh at the trial of the innocent

Swing swing

Let them laugh at the trial of the innocent

saying, «Here's the rope

and there’s the ladder,»

Coming for to carry me home.

Yes, I confess

Yes, I confess

angels!

angels!

Yes, I confess

Yes, I confess

Yes, I confess:

Give me sodomy or give me death!
