I like to prance around your street
And Im like a lion that wants more meat
And I like the wayward selfish sheep
Who are not looking out for me
Theyre like my favorite thing to eat
And I love to play to their egos
And I love to keep them off their toes
And I love to make them think they know
Too much to fall under control
Of another power not their own
And now Im going to devour the ones in my power
Cause I singled you out
(The devil is a roaring lion)
And now Im going to devour the ones in my power
Cause I singled you out
(1 Peter says in chapter 5)
I like the fickle ones the best
They like it when their lives stay blest
They like to think theyre not possessed
Till I put them to the test
I like when pride stays unconfessed
And I know the way to stack the deck
And I love a good life I can wreck
And I might attack with wealth or sex
While I put doubts in their heads
I love a scandals chain effect
And now Im going to devour the ones in my power
Cause I singled you out
(The devil is a roaring lion)
And now Im going to devour the ones in my power
Cause I singled you out
(The devil is a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour)
(Hes got to go if you resist)
Im like a panther on your street
And I like a church where no-one meets
And Im on my way to steal some sheep
Front doors open up for me
Theyre like my slaves if theyre deceived
And I hate the place I have to go
But Ill take some people with me though
And I hate the faithful that say no
To every bald lie that Ive told
I hate the power that they hold
And now Im going to devour the ones in my power
Cause I singled you out
(The devil is a roaring lion)
And now Im going to devour the ones in my power
Cause I singled you out
(The devil is a roaring lion, in chapter 4 of James you'll find)
(Hes got to go if you resist)
1 Peter 5:8
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
