satan

i was young
eternal
high on the wind
god's own angel
and believed his medicine

now the ties are broken
by wounds that never healed
from the crimes that i have languished in
and are all i ever feel

why
concealed inside a frozen reason
a "why" surviving throughout seasons
to still be the lie
that what we are has been condemned

why
to live for nothing worth believing [[[can not _]]]
betraying so much of what should have
been deemed as a gift
and what this saint must now defend
not absent wings
nor pointing stars
yet barren the thought set apart
to revenge what scars my heart

so there i'd dwell
in what some call hell
until as villain, against a master's stare
in desperation i as slave rebelled

shared a family once
with a fame i wasn't of
was its first one
then i dared enough
to display an enemy love

are there damages done
to any child told not to fly
that betray us
and a sacred trust
to honor every soul's divine

so please take a chair
to become aware
of what this satan amid their own repair
comes to know of what to serve and where

heaven's gift in it's love [[[[give us]]]]
to each soul alive
those we worship as kind
those reviled and maligned
is the premise they must all survive [[[[give us]]]]

[[[[give us]]]]
[[[[give us this love]]]]

[[[[give us]]]]
[[[[give us promises served]]]]

and in praying for us
know our atmosphere first
that in rays heaven-sent
will for many extend
from an unfamiliar sun [[[grace of other loves]]]

[[[[give us]]]]
[[[[give us this trust]]]]

[[[[give us]]]]
[[[[give us this, a blessing deserved]]]]           

who remains
eternal
resignes in the sin
of defying a bias
for the oldest prejudice [[[divide]]]

 [[[now]]]
have my wings
and life song calls
and the confident will
that survives an angel's fall

[[[[give us]]]]
[[[[give us]]]]

[[[[give us]]]]
