Pour Out Thine Heart Like Water

Lamentations 2:11-22

[Oracle] My eyes have spent themselves and still the breach is wide, No likeness can measure a sorrow like the sea. False visions painted doors where no doors ever stood, [People] Pour out thine heart like water, At every watch let the stone hear prayer. [Oracle] They hid the wound until captivity arrived. Do not save a dignified sorrow for morning; Lift empty hands in the night and remain there. The passersby hissed at the city once called perfect, [People] Pour out thine heart like water, At every watch let the stone hear prayer. Enemies opened their mouths and named ruin their day. [Bridge] Yet warning fulfilled is not comfort withheld, The heart may still cry where every answer delays. Water on stone, tears through the watches, [Coda] Pour out thine heart when no language remains. Pour out thine heart like water, At every watch let the stone hear prayer.
