I’ve seen the tears of Satan

They run in the painting of the Devil in my church

The single oil painted drop

That sculpts the painted face of the fallen angel

But have you seen the rain storm of his cries?

The thousands of drops

That hit the stained glass in my church

Those tears that run down the man-made Mother Mary

So have you seen the true tears of Satan?

I’ve heard the screams of Satan

In the sunday morning christan cartoons

The high pitched sound of a kid throwing a tantrum

When their parents kick them from the house

But have you heard his wails in the church organs?

The sound that makes the pew tremble

That makes the candles flicker

And the cross sway

So have you heard the true screams of Satan?

I’ve seen the eyes of Satan

Those yellowed goat eyes

From the posters in sunday school

That haunt the dreams of young children

But have you seen the glowing red of a church exit sign?

That color that taunts even the truest man so

Those signs that hang over every holy door

Sealing the church from cruel and corrupt world

So have you seen the true eyes of Satan?

Have you seen his evil signs as the church preaches?

Or have you seen his pain in the miracles of God as the world teaches?
