Who Is To Blame?
Does the devil sit upon a throne?
In the dark depths of hell.
Does he wear an iron crown?
Judging them that fell.
A mighty throne it must be,
In his dark and fiery world.
Made of malice and human bone,
And evil that he unfurled,
There he sits in judgement solemn,
Of our crime and sins and hate.
He only shows us what we did,
And confirms our fiery fate.
Over our actions he has no control,
He can but show and tempt.
To try to lead us from the path
But only this he can attempt.
You see we must accept this truth,
For our fates we alone decide
We cannot blame the Devil
From liablity we cannot hide.
