He Who We Disclaim



He who we Disclaim

Every time I try to do
A good thing right and true
He’s on my shoulder near
Whispering temptations in my ear
Dragging me left, when I should go right
Laughing at all human plight
Shoving me under when I should go over
Tricking me so I can’t run for cover…
Leading down, when I should go up
Feeding me poison in a wordless cup

In the dark inside my weary head
I see his dead eyes burning red
He’s everywhere undermining good
Disguised so his lies misunderstood
Always posturing, forever faking
He misdirects and is always taking
Leaves the world sadly shaking
Always taking, always taking

He cannot love, he can’t create
Yet still proclaims that he is great
He cannot build, so he tears down
Destruction, subversion his renown
He wheedles in, where good is found
Throwing ash on fertile ground
We’re misdirected with his deceitful claims
And caught like pawns in his power games

It’s not flesh that he desires
He seeks our souls to feed the fires
If you believe he does not exist
You can’t resist; you can’t resist
He wants to make us into fools
When we wreck and wound, it’s he who rules

The War already has been won
And he has lost, thanks to The Son
Yet still he infects mankind one by one
Stockpiling soldiers just for fun
Eternity is eminently safe
But each soul determines its own fate
