SATAN�S WORLD

A song about reality

 

Promised wealth in lethal doses

Violated trust

Perpetual lies

False prosperity

Placing human faith

In the wrong entity

Bombarded by the apathy

Hard to swallow at times

So many desperate souls

Searching for a better way

Silent

Shy

Far too many die

I witness fear

Deep within sad eyes

Sincere anguish

Satan’s world is brutal man

Please believe me when I say

I’ve danced with him a time or two

Fresh new sound

Founded on frustration

Poignant truth

In your face urgency

No need to condescend

Recommend

Try to comprehend

The hope of Jesus Christ

His vision drives my soul

Ever forward

No longer looking back

My frail human shell

I’m not forever young

Not a flipping chance

Aging rapidly

Hardly gracefully

Unceremoniously

Nuclear weapons can’t save me

Neither can one man

Holy assurance

His day approaches

Fulfilling destiny

All the words will have been said

Listen now

With ears that can still hear

Compassion erupts within me

Like flowing lava

My gig is to spread His love

If you don’t dig it

That’s OK

I have to shout it anyway
