The Demon's Lament

You afflict them
but they will not crush.
You perplex them
but they do not despair.
You twist them
but they do not budge
You tempt them
but they do not turn.

They stumble they fall.
Then they stand tall...and follow.
They follow.

The night falls;
and the sin calls;
and the moon glows;
and the wind blows;
and the prayers rise;
and Satan sighs.

You torment them
but they do not divide.
You strike them
but they are not destroyed.

They stagger; they fall.
They sometimes crawl...but follow.
They follow.
