Coup De Grace

(Coup de grâce)

Oh, it’ll be so easy if only
I, in collusion with
the angels and the demons,
usurp God from heaven.

It will be a crucial coup
to overthrow God
and enthrone the Devil.

With such malice and hostility 
of man toward man
it’s beneficial to let the devil
take over for a change
and let humankind destroy itself.
