Job Eats Them Raw, with the Dogs

from Laughlin Cantate by Christian Molenaar

/

lyrics

One day these arms will be covered in human skin
Til then I am nothing but bones
One day this hair will fall out
Til then I am peeling my scalp

Bone Job claws his way from the coffin
Breaking fingernails
Pulls up through the loamy soil
To the sky and trees

What a day to find
What a day to find God

My only fault was that I was Job
God's fault was that God was God
What does Job declare?
God is still

He walks ashen paths
His bones grow gray with dust
He wipes himself clean
But the dust stops him up

Job listens for the angels
Nothing but insects

One day these arms will be covered in human skin
Til then I am nothing but bones
One day this hair will fall out
Til then I am peeling my scalp
