The Covering

The covering of man
  Holdeth 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
