Analysis of If

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



If
I were
Here with you
Here is what
You show
Off
Could
It be
Some abuse
You just blow out
Please speak the truth
No more lies
Witness
Now
The
Story
Has an end
The time is short
Redeem the time
He's coming
Dipped in
Blood
From
Corners
They shall all
Come, praise the Lord
Amen.
