praise bastet

the cat just watches and it's judgment's sure
out of all wars and conflicts of our age
only the ones that know the beast endure

there's no disease for which hate is the cure
but your deportment leads us all to rage
the cat just watches and it's judgment's sure

all of our elders threw out the brochure
and did not find the secret on the page
only the ones that know the beast endure

your heart was hardened against the allure
of the small magic we saw on the stage
the cat just watches and it's judgment's sure

mean what you say and avoid the detour
that is the way each fever to assuage
only the ones that know the beast endure

the winner is the one who's least impure
and finds the means to open the locked cage
the cat just watches and it's judgment's sure
only the ones that know the beast endure
