Mongoose by Melodie Yvonne
I see you washed in evil
I see you bathed in blood
You spilled it from the innocent
While killing all they loved
I see your old sin nature
All dark black ink like mine
But you walk yours right out on a leash
A caricature of your mind
I see your sheep like clothing
You think will hide your soul
But it’s the emperor’s new clothes to me
You can’t hide what I know
I see you wash in evil
I see you bathe in blood
But I’ll chop off my own head first
You won’t kill the things I love.
