The Mass

I gave to god my industry and chastity
if only for the chance to sing his praise
talent denied, he put this lust in my body,
and now the madness begins in me
I began to see a way, a terrible way I could triumph over god
My plan was so simple it terrified me
first the mass, then the death.
Displace one note, and diminishment
remove one phrase, the structure would fall.
Why choose him as your instrument
here was the very voice of god.
god singing through this man, an obscenity
my defeat more cruel with each passing bar.
In the madness of a man splintered into shards
if not mine, I’ll destroy this gift for all.
My plan was so simple it terrified me
first the mass, then the death.
Displace one note, and diminishment
remove one phrase, the structure would fall
god laughing at me through him
before I leave this earth, I will laugh at god.

The Death

Imagine it, the cathedral, all Vienna sitting there
in that silence, a divine music
bursts out over them all
a great mass of death,
composed by his devoted friend.
What depth, what passion, what sublimity!
When god forsakes a man, the depths he will descend.
Touched by god at last
with this death mass
what depth, what passion, what sublimity!
with this death mass
touched by god at last
stolen from a dead man’s hands.
Enraptured by his music
came a sound only I could hear.
The voice of his father, never sated,
haunting him from the grave,
and the germ of a plan infected my soul.
A way to draw upon his genius,
and drive him to his death;
terrifying and wonderful.
When god forsakes a man
judas extends a hand.
When god forsakes a man,
his beloved champion
Will meet his end
In salieri’s plan.
