“Living Oracles of the Law”

Living Oracles of the Law

Who the young and old adore

Installed by the Supreme Judge

To bring justice without grudge

Now the question goes…

If the temple is fraught with rot,

What is the fate of my worship?

If the shepherds tend to tend not,

What is the fate of the sheep?

Living Oracles of the Law

Anointed to wage sacred war

To keep the golden gates of Equity

And strike the wicked with no levity

Now the Chief Priest rose…

Embarking on a cleansing process

Invoking the powers of the Grundnorm…

Sanctification is in progress

And it is on like a great storm.
