Be Wary

be wary — of what you see
be wary — of evil schemes
be wary of those in the temple courts
with their hands lifted high
blood flowing from their palms
an offering of demonic psalms
their prayer doused in death
beckoning praise from the earth
a false witness who pours out lies
and hands that shed innocent blood
wondrous signs, holy sights, prophesy
in the name of heaven
haughty eyes, feed you lies, in disguise
scheming in a futile fight
wolves as sheep — snakes as priests
leading flocks with their wayward staffs
turn your back — they’ll smile and laugh
as they plot to overthrow the throne
be wary — of what you see
be wary — of evil schemes
wondrous signs, holy sights, prophesy
in the name of heaven
haughty eyes, feed you lies, in disguise
scheming in a futile fight
be wary of those set out to destroy
be wary of those in the demon’s play
be wary of those with a promised earth
be wary of those you least expect
wolves as sheep — snakes as priests
leading flocks with their wayward staffs
waves of false doctrine crashing down
flowing from the hypocrisy
high tide is coming soon
don’t get caught in the undertow
be wary — be wary
