The Devil wears designer suits
And preys upon your fears
He sidles up and leans in close
To whisper in your ears
The brotherhood he offers
Is not what at first it seems
He sidles deep into your mind
And convolutes your dreams
Pretending to be what he's not
He pulls you slowly in
Assures you if you ever leave
You'll surely die in sin
His way is the only way
Twisting truth to suit his needs
Programs his mindless minions
To cater to his needs
Doom & gloom is all that's taught
Never joyful song
You're a dirty sinner fool
You were raised all wrong
Sit in judgment of your folks
Your family is at fault
Blindly do you follow him
In his thin veiled cult
When you see the truth of him
The light will burn your eyes
You burnt so many bridges
While you swallowed up his lies
Never can you go again
To the place that you were raised
For you condemned the lot of us
When it was he who got your praise
How the mighty fall
When falsehoods they do tout
Who's up on that pedestal
Now that's he's been found out
This is not my preachy moment, it came to me when talking with another about how people will so blindly follow someone. They get taken in by someone who says they are looking out for their best interests, when in fact, the only interests that are being looked out for are selfish ones. You watch from a distance as they are brainwashed and pulled in by someone who is NOT what they are trying to appear to be, yet you can do nothing.
I'm glad I'm hard headed, and not easily led.
