My 'Tribute' to David Bowie

Another god has bitten the dust! 

Silent lips in a silent grave!
No more singing, no more songs.
No more breath
No more devotion to crave


They don't last forever!

On this mortal coil. 
No more eating, no more food
No more drink or drugs.
Just lifeless body in the soil


Idols fall where stars once stood!

Flat on their faces, shattered and broken.
Pieces left behind, torn apart,
No more love or lust
No slick words to be spoken.


Mortal men, bow to mortal gods!

Immoral schemes and lyrics
Their sensual desires, hearts so black
Remembered for his badness!
Dead rebel, no more hysterics.

Master

Master over all creation,
Master over storm and sea,
Master over deaf and mute,
But is He Master over me?

Master over crippled men, 
Master, making blind to see, 
Master over Satan's demons, 
But is He Master over me?

Master over vile sinners,
Master, while on Calvary's tree,
Master, Lo, the grave can't hold Him,
But is He Master over me?
