wolf in sheep's clothing
Gregory Ramos 1961 (Azusa)
we found shelter
the warm rain fell
the shepherds in the field
pride before the fall
everyone listens
but nobody hears
stand before the crowds
venom sprayed
and laughs out loud
pride before the fall
he is held just above
knows the write words
for he knows all
pride before the fall
low to the ground stalks
his prey , for one is enough
to eat all day
when the rain flees
clouds dissolve
the sons light shines
on this predator
blood stained he smiles
for us forgiveness
is key sunday he
will be out to devour
without thought it goes on
till everything is gone
pride before the fall
