I'll Take That Applause - Protomartyr

And I’ll take that applause

Because I deserve it

The audience is but vapor

In my hand

And I’ll take that applause

Because I need it

Six-winged seraph flying

Over my head

Nothing ever after

And I’ll take that applause

Because I lose it

Cherubim and diadems and

Little birds that sing

Nothing ever after

And I’ll take that applause

Because I deserve it

I saw you drop

What came out of your head?

Nothing ever after
