Secret Society

The judge sits high
above all others
With a gavel and his
book of law
But the robe he
wears is his
brother's 
And his voice of ice
will quickly thaw.

With a gavel and his
book of law
It's the only
strength he can
express.
And his voice of ice
will quickly thaw
As feigned authority
does not impress.

It's the only
strength he can
express.
A life extravagant
and obscene.
As feigned authority
does not impress.
A young seduction,
but yet preteen.

A life extravagant
and obscene.
He steals an
innocence with
wicked threats
A young seduction,
but yet preteen.
This sacrifice will
clear his debts.

He steals an
innocence with
wicked threats
His evil seethes
through every pore.
This sacrifice will
clear his debts.
While fellow lodge
men lock the door. 

His evil seethes
through every pore.
But the robe he
wears is his
brother's 
While fellow lodge
men lock the door. 
The judge sits high
above all others.
