I am an Orthodox relic

 
I am an Orthodox relic, 
But please don’t venerate,
Or you will end up with some egg off your plate
And on to your face, all gooey and yellow,
So carry on now, there’s a good fellow.
Should you poke your nose into my perilous quest
I hope, that like me, you are an apologist.
Let’s get down to the basics and let in some light
We’ve been too long in the dungeon, in the black of the night.
Howling with the lizards, curling our tongues,
Gnashing our teeth on our own Mother’s young ones.
We are made of starlight yet we rot under the sod,
Let’s rise to this occasion, for the love of God!
Only love will save us, only love is real,
Love more kindly and beautiful than any love we feel.
This love will sets the convict free from karma and from curse,
The love that turns us into light and fills the universe
O Lord, turn us from darkness, 
O, turn us from the night,
Let the light fall softly, softly
O Lord, turn us from darkness, 
O, turn us from the night,
Let the light fall softly, softly
Let the light fall softly, softly
Let the light fall softly, softly
Let the light fall softly, softly 
On the city made of light.
