A Grain of Salt

Give me madness that I may believe in myself! A grain of salt, madness....A grain of genius, devine.. Give me deliriums and convulsions, Sudden lights and darkness. Terrify me, with frost and fire, Such as no mortal has ever felt!! And only too often, this fervour achieved it's goal all too well. In that age, when the tree of christ proved heaviest with fruit. There were in jerusalem, vast madhouses for abortive saints, For those who had surrendered to it their last grain of salt... With a deafening din. Make me howl, whine, crawl. Like some wretched beast. So that I may come to believe in myself! Give me madness...that I may believe in myself! A grain of salt, madness....A grain of genius, devine.
