My non-Christian take on John 8:44

[steven]

Father of Lies

I am a master of both misinformation
And all your means of communication

A network of illusion
Lies before your eyes
Which I am in control of
As you are hypnotized

You are my willing victim
As your will I take for mine
I'll redefine your arguments
In the public eye

I'll take away your strong defense
You'll have nowhere to hide
As in the people's estimates
I'll cut you down to size

For they see as I
Will them to
And you know they do
As you do too

And you act for me
So that I can be
The architect
Of your destiny

And just who's to gain
Tell me
You or me
Now, how can that be
When we say we're free

I am not a single soul
Yet I am quite alive
The eternal evil spirit of the lie
And I've taken up my residence
Inside your twisted mind

I know you know just who I am
I know you know my evil plan

You're too weak to defy me
You're too weak to deny me
You're too weak to ever fight
For what you know is right
