Satan's Counsel
Playing therapist to the devil
So my seat in hell is a throne
Bodies of those I've failed at my feet
Propped up by bones
It eats at me and brings me down
But there's no plane below hell
I'll keep myself here for eternity
There's no forgiveness no matter how much I dwell
Because the unforgivable
Is that I don't hate this padded chair
The ruby silk you've draped me in
The braids in my hair
I don't hate the way men pause
When I've chosen to speak
And the power I've been granted
Proves that I'm not weak
I don't hate the way my thoughts
Twist in the mind of men
Then come out in their actions
Convinced it was them
But living in the minds of the powerful
Was never going to be what I needed
I could manipulate and make a difference
But lives burnt out unheeded
And when it got to be too much
My devil went and set me free
Left me with promises and protection
And sent me up to purgatory
Shouldn't it be better here?
The grass is greener and the sun is bright
But I got used to the darkness
And miss the moonlight
I miss the way I bent their pitch black minds
Cut their heart without them knowing
Let a snake of light slither in
And left the scarlet blood flowing
I miss the way I stood - a pillar against the storm
The way I turned the tide
When all felt lost, at least there was me
At the very least, I tried
But now what do I stand for?
What good do I do?
All I saved was myself
I failed to save you
You thought you were saving me from yourself
But I'm the only one that can save me
I'm trapped of my own devise
Drowning in this cardinal sea
