Satan [Cmin 124bpm]
There has to be some explanation
For why you rose, or why you fell
For those who claim it isn’t relative
Consider that for a masochist, heaven is hell
And while I look all around me
and see a dark planet torn apart
another might see in perfect beauty
a mighty, tragic work of art
I don’t know why the mighty flee
to chase their childlike misery
I don’t know why the mighty fall
Indeed, I’m not clear on why they rise at all
–Chorus
We tell so many different stories
Perhaps somewhere all of them are true
Every man who ever wrote a religion
Can read about his mistakes in you
Satan, you genius, you recursed yourself
Went to hell in perfect health
God never guessed, never knew
That his second in command was God too
—
So leaders, beware your followers
Sometimes the sheep the shepherd have led
Every person is a ticking time bomb
There are some things better left unsaid
I find it’s safer to just keep still
And pray to God God never notices his own repair bill
[Chorus]
Give me a job with the least responsibility
Give me a task which will never end
Give me chains, but give me the key
Give me the world inside of me
