The rags clothing every falsehood
Pulling humanity into the mire
Would veil Deity if it could
Through the thing called "desire"...

In ancient times and today
Innocent lives men did require
Adding cadavers to their array
Quenching the thirst of "desire"...

God did from eternity behold
His strength could not tire
To reshape humanity for the fold
Making manifest an infinite desire...

Dictators rise and quickly fall
Sons betray fathers for hire
Brave men die against the wall
To satisfy their deepest desire...
