Rat

I followed a rat, I watched it burn. I followed a rat into the church, It saw a light but I watched it burn. I followed a rat, dressed in all white— The rat grew wings, but still, it burned. I carried a mouse, I watched it rise. I carried a mouse into the church, It found the wine, yet I watched it rise. I carried a mouse, dressed in Roman Olive— The mouse burned wings, yet I watched it rise.
