They wish they were blind

Unable to look away

Forced to watch it all-

Plug and play again

Relentless sordid cycle

He sees, crushed Witness-

Shepherd knows the worst

Sees lamb in unholy clutch

Mirrors pressing in-

The World pulls him close

Spirits collide in battle

As Father looks on-

Angel reaches out

For his soul, but he is lost

In lurid powers-

In this spirit realm

The battle is fierce, but the

Reward is his soul-

Dark clashes with Light

Fangs bared, claws ripping at wings,

Silky feathers fall-

Host of angels join

And He leaves the ninety nine

To bring this one Home-
