in the Words

(of Satan)

Most of the time, I look at you and laugh.
You fall for it every time, you stupid, stumbling fool.
You cannot see
You cannot see
You CANNOT see
That every time you fall, you get up again weaker than you were before.
It's so easy to tempt you down that road you call "free will"
When I'm just drawing you into my worldwide plan of ultimate rebellion.
So your pain delights me
Your sorrow gladdens me
Your anguish amuses me
I laugh at you. "God's child" indeed.


(of God)

Most of the time I look at you and cry.
You turn away every single time, you beautiful, blessed child.
You cannot see
You cannot see
You cannot SEE
That my love and faithfulness are ever poured out upon you.
You drown yourself in selfish sin that in the end leaves you dripping with pain.
My heart aches with you, my beloved.
So I will follow.
I will pursue.
I will rescue.
I love you. And one day sin will reign no more.
