Waking from sleep, the spirits speak to us.

They haunt us with phrases to wake us from the netherside.

“The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.”–Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane

“At first I was inspired, but now I’m sad and tired.”–Tim Rice, Jesus speaking from Jesus Christ Superstar after three years on mission, about to drink the cup of death on a cross.
