Voice of the Lamb


                                            Keep the Flame,
                                          and flame the Keep,
                                           beware slick Will,
                                         nigh looms his Creep!
                                            Bury thy heart,
                                         and wound thy knee --
                                               lest FBI
                                           do murther thee!

                                           Our sun hath set,
                                            yet ere it rose,
                                           and day's begins
                                           still 'twixt thy toes,
                                            nor yet the end
                                          can now we see --
                                            except the end
                                            for you, for me.

                                           Still the voice --
                                            dare not a peep,
                                          yon shepherd guards
                                           against the sheep.
                                            As quiet the fold
                                           as warm the flock,
                                            yet still his key
                                             is in the lock.

                                          Outside 'tis cold --
                                            we know it well,
                                           but still here's this,
                                             that I can tell,
                                     to much prefer the coyote's howl,
                                           the raven's cough,
                                          the screeching owl,
                                           than all thy kings
                                           and all thy gold --
                                         we've all been bought,
                                          we've all been sold.
