Kyrie is a hymn in 13/8, parsed 9/8+4/8. Kip wrote it while under the influence/inspiration of the fantastic guitarist Ben Monder. He feels it has best stood the test of time, of the pieces on this album, being the most integral.
lyrics
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison
(Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy)
