Conversation #1

I sat and watched The angel give up Before the devil ever showed up. If Lucipher and Beelzebub can fall; What makes you think you’re above it all? My soul is intact And my love and sacrifices Came along side my vices. But my honor Will not come from man And my will will not detract. I’ve seen angels Turn into devils; But it was man That took evil to new levels. If the greatest of men failed, What makes you think you’ll prevail? Because my lord, My aid is your word. Because my lord, My word is my sword; And though my actions Are not all pure In you, I’ve a cure. I gave you my son, I offered you Emanuel I beseeched protection From the angel Gabriel. Now he forces his one; He curses you with Demian As to provoke defection, And bring your kin to evil again. What makes you think You can prevent his will be done? If you fail, he as won. The greatest gift of all, You gave me to stand tall. Through the breath of your voice You bestowed on me free choice. While evil still be done, Man is free from none; But while choice belongs to me I will keep this world good and free.
