Subject(s): Hypocrisy; Judgment Day; End Of The World; Doomsday; Fall Of Man
WHEN came his final judgment,
God gave him for his prize
The crown, the single sceptre,
He'd worn as his disguise.
The crown, the single sceptre,
A new, familiar shame;
For when he came to judgment,
He wore them in God's name.
