I was driven to the wilderness When a flaming sword appeared; Then tethered like a goat, For the demon was revealed. I've got a mark, like Cain, To identify me; So I stumbled through the gulches For a place to be free. You told me I was naked, I never realized; You should fit inside my head And see me with my eyes. I've slept with swine, Caroused with jackals, Spit in the face of Him; It was then you found me out; Cried and mourned, For I was never good at hiding; And thus you found me lacking.

I Was Found Lacking
I was driven to the wilderness When a flaming sword appeared; Then tethered like a goat, For the demon was revealed. I've got a mark, like Cain, To identify me; So I stumbled through the gulches For a place to be free. You told me I was naked, I never realized; You should fit inside my head And see me with my eyes. I've slept with swine, Caroused with jackals, Spit in the face of Him; It was then you found me out; Cried and mourned, For I was never good at hiding; And thus you found me lacking.
