Analysis of Forgive me



I know not what I do.

Cleanse me from secret faults:

So I can be like you.

Fan me, with your winnowing hand,

Let me walk in righteousness
With you as my guide...

Free your people
To be blessed
So you
Can take
Your bride.

How did I get here?

You only know.

If I walk outside your precepts...

My Hypocrisy will show.

Listening to your calling:

Blocking others out..

I hear a dreadful warning,

That brings both fear, and doubt;

About the sins that severed,

And cut off the flow..

About the world's Deception,

And the shadows that grow-

Blocking out the light,

That's given by your word...

Twisting it about,

Making it absurd..

How: the dragon with his power,
Gave his power to the beast..
Now in expectation-
The false prophets are released..

How did I get here
I don't know
In quietness
And rest
Your Spirit
It will
Flow...

They walk throughout the earth;
Walking to and fro-
Sending back reports.
In case you didn't know.

There's no hiding from him
He sees in the dark.

The kindling is ready
It just needs a spark...

Wash you!
Make you clean...
Remove the filth and grot..

Put away the filth from before my eyes-

Or hell will be your lot.

Learn to do well
Run from the spell
Seek truth
In wisdom
Don't trust
In lies..

The stone with His inscription,
Has seven eyes...

Are your sins as scarlet?
Are they white as snow?

Would we pass the test
Even with
The Furness
Turned down low.

He holds the future
And requires what is past...

He has a bright future
For all those
Who are
Last.

The shepherds have led my people away:

From mountain to hill..

They have forgotten their resting place,

And swallowed a sleeping pill..

High time to awake!
Salvation is near...

Search for it diligently
It is Him
We must
Fear.

"By their fruits you shall know them."

Don't look blindly.

What is right?

Even the Devil himself-

Turns into an angel of light.

Dig into the wall
Can you see at all?
Ezekial eight eight...

There's nothing new under the sun.

But it's not up for debate.

And even if it was
Another would arise
Who can come near him?
This devil in disguise..

The Ancient stands
Censer in hand
Leader of the flock
Arrogantly thinking
The Lord
Sees me
Not.
