Master Mind

[audiofool]

Protect the institution
no rest, no restitution
no looking back with shame
Christ, what's in a name?

serving our own appetites
up is down and black is white
it takes courage to be kind
disaster is the mastermind

arbiters of morality
infallible authority
humanity's best hope
swinging by a rope

the faith to persevere
those with ears to hear
use your best discretion
the court is now in session

seated on the throne
picking clean the bones
of our recent arrival
a savior suicidal
all signs point to vital
beyond sin or survival

breaking the final chain
the merging of heart and brain
the demise of death and hell
there's good news left to tell.
