In The Reed

Recites his lines awake at night
Pays his tithes in hopes he might receive
He raised them right forbid them wine and closed their minds
There's reasons why the weak stay weak
and a power to a few twigs, the carpenter king
turns another to a serpent a nation redeemed

In the reed
In the reed
In the reed
In the reed

A noble man, loyal hittite
Two of ten and took his wife to sleep
Was it the same kiss of gracelessness that cursed Judas
but yours would miss the cheek
Well theres a caution to the fable
The pages we read
There's a promise to never break them
The bruises we leave

In the reed
In the reed
In the reed
In the reed

There's a power to a few twigs, the carpenter king
turns another to a serpent, a nation redeemed
In the reed
