Lucifer the Instrument
Music was fashioned in Heaven
for praises to The King,
by the notorious Lucifer
who now perverts everything.
Now Lucifer is among us,
an instrument of song;
no longer praising the True King
rather everything that's wrong.
He incorporates enough WORD
in his defiled works of art
to make you think it's truth
and decieves from the start.
Yes, Lucifer is able
to pen a masterpiece,
and if you are not careful
he will destroy your peace.
