Idols
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
"They worship the work of their hands."
"He saw it long ago."
A godless time when all humanity gets caught in an evil flow.
Blinded by illusion the riches never came.
Just a pox on both their houses with no one else to blame.
The day of the Lord will come and on that day we'll know...
When the lowly are exalted and the high ones take a blow.
Man's loftiness and haughtiness will be brought down.
And on that day exalted the King with many crowns.
