The Purge



Caught in the devil’s crosshairs

Mired in the violent ground

Wolfing down his woeful wares

By that fantasy I’m bound


Wash me clean bottom to top

Purge my soul with holy fire

Purge me now with hyssop

Remove each dubious desire


When I come across a sensual scene

Whenever I get an ugly urge

I want my conscience to come clean

I will pray for the purifying purge


Wash me clean bottom to top

Purge my soul with holy fire

Purge me now with hyssop

Remove each dubious desire


The purge it may come with some pain

If purity be my pursuit

That kind of loss will by my gain

But Lord rip it up by the root


Wash me clean bottom to top

Purge my soul with holy fire

Purge me now with hyssop

Remove each dubious desire
