“Heavenly Father” — take to thee
The supreme iniquity
Fashioned by thy candid Hand
In a moment contraband —
Though to trust us — seems to us
More respectful — “We are Dust” —
We apologize to thee
For thine own Duplicity —
“Heavenly Father” — take to thee
The supreme iniquity
Fashioned by thy candid Hand
In a moment contraband —
Though to trust us — seems to us
More respectful — “We are Dust” —
We apologize to thee
For thine own Duplicity —
