The Devil Dances

This world has come full circle And lies groaning in its sin For time has now encircled The beginning of the end. And now the Devil dances His hour upon the stage Through flatteries he prances To the cadence of his rage. The goats call him "Messiah" Who willingly take his brand Become the dark pariahs Of the one true Son of man. Self righteousness is blindness And sin breeds only death Without the Master's kindness All souls would loose their breath. 'Twas grace that flowed from Calvary And then opened Heaven's door His blood that paid the salary For sins that stain no more. And so the Devil dances For his kingdom is at hand Since evil now enhances All imaginings of man. For soon the final curtain will roll up like a scroll And one thing is for certain The Devil will take his toll. But I shan't be distracted While our Lord defeats His foe For I'll be one retracted Crowned a Prince as pure as snow! Timothy I. Brumley
