Gore
I know ‘twas the blood.
I know ‘twas the blood.
Father,
forgive me
please.
Trouble in my way.
Like Judas I gotta
hide
sometimes, 30 pieces o’
silver shadows; real 24kt
fool’s gold;
exact same kiss of death.
I knew ‘twas the blood.
I knew ‘twas the blood
handed ov’r
by me.
Father forgive me
it was I.
Dedicated to:
BLOOD BANK…One day when I wuz lost; He GOT UP on my cross; saved me.
