The Covering
The covering of manHoldeth no good
Hiding secrets within its wall
Caged in the cell of man
The covering bringeth destruction
To the soul of man
O covering, the flesh of man
Dress, Mode, and Shape
To perform the desire of man
There dwelleth no good within thee
O covering of man
You are pleasing to the eye of man
Always presence
To destroy man destination
Searching for wealth and fame
There dwelleth no good within thee
O covering, the flesh of man
Loose thy holdeth on man
Die! Die!
Return to the dust from whence thy cometh
The spirit of God shall reign within man
O covering, the flesh of man
Hear ye the word of God
God word shall prevail
