The pastor listens to my confession.
She says my sins are grievous.
She tells me I must do something.
I must do something
to absolve myself of my transgressions.
She says I must go to Lapland.
I must go to Lapland
and I must find a fire.
I must find a fire
and I must sit with the men at the fire.
I must sit with the men at the fire
and I must sit in silence.
The men of Lapland sit at a fire and they do not speak.
They sit in silence.
I must sit with the men in silence.
I go home, pack a few things,
burn down my cabin and my possessions.
I walk to Lapland.
I walk to Lapland
and I find a fire.
I find a fire
and I sit with the men at the fire.
I sit with the men at the fire
and I sit in silence.
I feel my sins wash away.
And when I feel my sins wash away,
I find I am at peace.
And when I find I am at peace,
I toss my pack into the fire.
I toss my pack into the fire
and then I walk into the woods.
I walk into the woods.
And I am free.
