Analysis of Enmity

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



Enmity has sent us blind

Truth is hidden  
Hard to find
There is
Only
One way
Like lost sheep
All gone astray

Seduced by a subtle foe

Preparing us for a death blow

Defending what is not the truth

Allowing evil to have the say

Brings destruction
If it has
Its way
