Shrike the beautiful Bird

Let your adornment not be external our crowning glory must never be camouflage Into the hearts of dupe believer's cultures Did the holy wreath hurt as much as my broken heart? A shrike can outdo the Pied Piper's bewitching flute anytime Safeguard our hearts from these foolish acts of men Let your adornment not be external, purge out the evil within their soul: saying I love you is unrealistic.
