Dancing with the Devil
An abandoned church was there
Crippling beyond repair
Absent from the Lord's Prayer
A creaking wooden door
Bibles scattered on the floor
A cross toppled off the wall
Leaving Jesus in a sprawl
The Church bells no longer ring
Choir gone, no one left to sing
Ground covered in debris
Where could the Lord's followers be?
You stand atop a hill
Looking out, everything still
From afar you hear a sound
Are God's People now found?
You run off towards the place
The noise comes from a dark space
A large cavern you embrace
Now trying to be brave
You look inside the cave
A hopeless explorer
And with a shock of horror
You find them in a revel
Dancing with the Devil
