And you'll be stripped naked
And laid out in the pines
And the old men will stand around you
And look down upon my crimes
Seven hundred days were wasted
They were wasted like the seed
On your stomach like an altar
First they glistened, now they bleed
No you are not forgiven
For my cowardice or my fear
So go there and fuck your acolyte
Or bring him here and fuck for me
I stand above you hollow now
As you grind into the dirt
You are feeble and you are weak and cruel
Go suck his cock now, go feed your thirst.
In your mouth, I tasted beauty once
Between your legs, it tasted clear
So sing a sing about your mother
Or for your father, who sits right here
Your blood is like a lotion
Like an acid on my skin
And I stand upon a mountain
Made of weak and useless men
Don't go...
Please don't go...
Get out!
Don't go...

Resentful, vindictive, contemptuous and violent emotion towards a former lover for her rejection of the narrator, treating him like her other "weak and useless men", used and tossed off, mixed with a self-consciously fragile need for her love. Very Gira.
