Analysis of Treacherous
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
The treacherous ones have dealt treacherously..
Their Twisting me to bits!
Women and children rule over us..
We are all in the pits.
Engulfed by evil
They have the way??
Don't despair, we won't be there!
We are meeting him in the clouds..
Funny thing this thing called sin what's it all about?
Not about you and me..
It's plain to see..
(Ever growing snouts.)
The righteous judge don't hold a grudge...
But He knows what we are.
That I shall fly
And leave behind
Makes me a superstar!
All is vain..
To Him it's plain...
You have not received your birth.
When you do you will know it's true that He owns the earth.
Created to be inhabited.
It will receive new birth.
Deception is spun..
His Spirit will come...
To a remant from the church-
To show the way by everyday living what they learnt.
To have dominion to rule with Him
First you must be drawn in...
Yes then on that day
When He returns to rule...
We will say
How did we stray
How could we be such fools.
