Red mass
Arnold Franz Walter Schoenberg
At the gruesome Eucharist,
In golden glitter,
In flickering candlelight,
To the altar comes-Pierrot!
His hand, consecrated to God,
Tears open the priestly robes
At the gruesome Eucharist,
In golden glitter.
Signing the cross,
He shows the suffering souls
The dripping red Host:
His heart-in bloody fingers-
At the gruesome Eucharist.
