Leopards in the Temple Strange to see them there Drinking from the Holy Chalice Left the Pulpit bare Leopards in the Temple Spots that never change Part of the whole ceremony Hearts that bare such pain Leopards in the Temple Strive to do their best Repeating it over and over Souls that can not rest Wretched deceivers Playing cruel games Ask what is forgiveness Room to do the same Selfish in their judgement Condescending airs Righteous indignation Burdens we all share Leopards in the Temple Breaks my Spirit down Telling me they love me Little joy to be found I believed in Lions And I wanted to But I have learned to rise above it Now I know what's true Intimate betrayal Back stabbing Loved Ones Blameless so defenseless Ones that be out-done Leopards in the Temple Because the altar is free Leopards in the Temple No longer bother me I can pray beside them Without fear of harm Leopards in the Temple No cause for alarm Leopards in the Temple No cause for alarm
