The Double Life Chant

The Double Life Chant

The double life
Is the wicked life
Plus the cover life
This is the double life
The cover life
Hides the wicked life
And the wicked life
Grows on.
 
The wicked life
Halts the Godly life
And the Godly life
Holds the future life
And the future life
Guards the soul life
From decaying in
The world.
 
The cankerworm
And the palmerworm
Assault the soul life
Through the wicked life
And the cover life
Hides the wicked life
But decaying worms
Can’t hide.
 
They show themselves
By feeding off
The soul life
And the cover life
The wicked life
Bred the worms and
The soul life
Decays.

The wicked life
Assaults the cover life
And the cover life
Becomes inadequate
For the wicked life
Seeks to show itself
As the cover life
Decays.
 
The wicked life
Assaults all life
That it contacts
For it is not life
The wicked life
Is disguised as life
The wicked life
Is death.
 
Turn away
From the double life
For the double life
Always ends in death
All in decay
Can be restored
Be not a fool
Choose life.
