Repentance (1977)

A silent snow blankets the ground

Where once you sat in meditative thought

And have you heard a distracting sound

That your unrivaled attention has caught

Or have you let it pass you by

To continue in the way you know is wrong

Teachers who follow soon to die

The era of dismay has been too long

Do you wish to live with the false kings

That garment their countenances with captivation

Jewels and trinkets that only fraud brings

To comfort you and to arouse fascination

And when the time comes to kneel and pray

Beg and ask for the mercy of your soul

To no avail you ask every night and day

Because now it is you that they loathe

But only fools stay where they must not remain

And so make your decision of falsification

That which you must do and state the claim

To fall down below your gods in damnation
