lyrics

Love Must Wax Cold
KNIGHT Love must wax cold.
SQUIRE Now, Jesus that weareth the crown of thorns—bring us all to heaven’s bliss. [spoken]
KNIGHT The rain falls from heaven’s face.
KNIGHT & SQUIRE Dight for the night.
SQUIRE Across the fields, the unlit church.
KNIGHT & SQUIRE Love must wax cold.
KNIGHT On distant hills their torchlines gleed.
SQUIRE What rough beast of Bethlehem spurned?
KNIGHT A thousand years since last I died.
KNIGHT & SQUIRE Love must wax cold.
KNIGHT Then the Order’s even tenor rent
KNIGHT & SQUIRE by their transgressions. Millennial flames belched from heaven’s face; To cast off an old age.
KNIGHT Their flocks from Salvation lost;
KNIGHT & SQUIRE Man, root and branch did fall into ruin. The very world had shaken herself to cast off an old age.
KNIGHT And a thousand more since His crown of thorns
KNIGHT & SQUIRE joined the affray. His end, nailed on a high broad field—Prepare for the night. Lucifer fell to earth on a wave of fire; love must wax cold. Iwis spewed from God’s earth was I. Prepare for the night.
