the bishop touches subjects not his own

forgetting for which topic he has grown
he makes a proclamation as the blind
the bishop touches subjects not his own

assuming foreign flesh of unknown bone
he's reached to things to which he cannot bind
forgetting for which topic he has grown

assuming Divine Providence has shown
him things belonging to a different kind
the bishop touches subjects not his own

repeating fallacies that voices drone
which have no understanding in the mind
forgetting for which topic he has grown

he's so decreed with infallible tone
the saying which the socialists opine
the bishop touches subjects not his own

the firebrand, from mouth, the flames he's thrown
and scorched even his followers behind
forgetting for which topic he has grown
the bishop touches subjects not his own
