Amidst shrieks and howls and evil laughs
The meeting came to order
The demons had arrived from
The land of fifty borders.[i]
Then Satan stood and said to
This vile and evil crowd,
“Do you all still serve me?”
“Yes!” is what they vowed.[ii]
Then tell me of your service,
Someone stand and tell me now,
Speak of your deception,
Tell me when and where and how.
Then gradually a voice arose
From somewhere near the back,
A demon by the name of Chi
Would now address the pack.
My lord and fellow servants,
You know we’ve always had the knack
For tricking foolish humans,
Who in numbers never lack,[iii]
And today it’s no different,
In this nation all is well
We’re keeping them away from God
And on the road to hell.
I’m in a group whose masquerade
Is known as the occult [iv]
So I will tell you of our work
As well as the result.
A generation has emerged
Which doesn’t have a clue
That the Bible is God’s Word
And warns of me and you.
So they are blind and they don’t know
That we are all around,
The greatest assets to our work
As we have always found.[v]
So we guide them and provide them
With the power that they seek,
While telling them there is no God,
No reason to be meek.[vi]
We speak as ‘higher consciousness’
A voice that’s in their head,[vii]
A spirit of the earth or sky,
Or someone who is dead,[viii]
A psychic pet, an alien,
A message in a dream.[ix]
In this way they don’t perceive
Our method or our scheme.
We move the Ouiji board
And we shake divining rods,
To tell them of the past or
Where to break the sod.
We give the psychic knowledge so
That he can solve a crime
And soon the fortune tellers have
The people stand in line.[x]
We give them thoughts of mental power
And tell them that they’re able
Then when they stare and concentrate,
Move objects on the table.
We call it “chi,” we call it “ki,’
“Prana,” or “the force,”
We tell them that it’s everywhere so
They won’t guess the source.
We say it’s “yin and yang,” and
We say it’s “dark and light,”
“Positive and negative,”
But never wrong or right.
And we provide the power as
The witches bless and curse,
They think they’ve called on “nature,” as
A demon we disperse.[xi]
We’re also pushing drugs and
They learn to meditate,
For access is quite easy when
They’re in an altered state.[xii]
And all of this, by law, provides
Us with authority
To grasp and bind these humans
Who refuse to bend the knee
To the God who is above,
The One who is the Three,
For they don’t know His sacrifice
Was made to set them free.[xiii]
So we slyly take them captive in
The prison of their mind,[xiv]
Controlling both their thoughts and moves
With lies of every kind.
And as long as we can keep them from
The ones who serve the Lord[xv]
Who read His Word and know it well
And use it like a sword.[xvi]
Then they will be our captives ‘til
They take their final breath,
Waking then to join us as
We face the second death.”[xvii]
