You start talking about suffering, beaten and broken, you’ll horribly die, then after three days you’ll rise to life, you plainly state such crazy things, so I take you aside to tell you, **no, you’ll be King, show your power rule the earth, crush oppressors into the dirt,** then like I’ve never seen, you roar, the anger of the righteous Lord the priests teach about, comes out you yell, *Behind me, Satan, you won’t ruin my plans, your mind is filled with thoughts of man, not God,* I’m silent with shame, confused, you’re calling me the name of your enemy while I’m trying to remind you what you promised me.
