Analysis of As Your God



As your God I'll offer you a better life
It will be the one you make
And as your God I'll offer you a better wife
She will be the one you take
And as your God I'll offer you a better strife
It will be the one you snake
And as your God I offer you a better fife
It will be the one you wake
And as your God I'll offer you a better rife
And it will be the one you stake
And finally as your God I'll offer you a better knife
And it will be the one you sake
