Devils Stage



The Devils in charge
of the world in his hands
everywhere you look
his power expands
the little boy’s father
who shoots up
 in the car
the little girls mother
with bruises and scars
from the top of the World
the power is strong
We make believe
that right is wrong
government handouts
 to mental too work
school shooting students
that go berserk
as he pulls are strings
and laughs at us all
we dance on his stage
as he makes his next call
 to the psycho with the gun
his family is dead
 innocence lost
stolen out of bed
there will be a time
when the devil gets weak
and God will take over
and he will speak
speak of his love
speak of his grace
even the devil
will bow down on his face
to end the pain
and suffering too
to love in harmony
one another in truth
