The Master
I was just a little demon
Who needed a real master
I could not control my fire
He came big and violent
And rose his hand to teach me
He was just now and then and sometimes
He gave me what I was to be
I hated his beatings and torments
Feared his fire and his whip
His wicked sight, his irrationality
The endless bleeding of my lip
I was then a little monster
Who needed training and wings
He gave me all I needed
Now I’m paying all his sins
