Crawling in my head
Gnawing at the little man there
Their claws dig in and won't let go
Dormant for so long
Why do they wake now
Was it a stirring from my rebirth
They want to move in to the spaces left
Spreading out and multiplying
But I have a Tenant and He needs space
He will not be denied
They're waking now, regularly
They ride the coat-tails of righteousness
They hold on and won't be shaken
Their claws are sharp
They slash at me and others around
Gashing my head and theirs
Settling in for a long stay
They're about to be surprised
My Tenant is smart
He knows how to clear them
My Tenant is strong
His words raise the dead
He doesn't want to share
And He shouldn't have to
I bow to Him and He knows
In my heart He is the only one allowed
The monsters are crawling, but not toward me
They're leaving my body alone
He fills the space and me inside
His mercy is a river
