I Pray As I Prey

The first glimpse of this radiant creature, unraveled mind's clarity 
Enchanted fairy tale innocence, God's miracle gift, 'tis rarity 

My heavens opened, likening the world stage parting the red sea 
Innocence so lovely angel's sang chorus of my heart felt melody 

Curled flowing raven locks, fall upon the shoulders bare 
Complexion pure perfection child fair beyond compare 

God's wrath of brimstone and fire, does not extinguish this secret desire
After midnight mass in the loft young squire, who sings in the churches choir

Parishioners have no scent or smell, stained by the priest demon knave
For behind closed door, he hold's them in bondage, as master is to slave.
