The minister
And twenty years of perfection!
Not a day’s insurrection!
I’m gonna let ‘im down real bad
Losing touch of ground and will
I straggled forth, bowing before your light
Never once my eyes to dim
For fear of letting slip away
Our quarry to the blade of another!
Oh, minister, lord:
You in all your perfection!
The domain your possession!
It’ll be gone by the night!
