Ha Satan (lyrics by Josh Luckenbach)
Hands are tied behind my back
And I can’t see but can’t open my eyes
All my life has not been as it seems
I can only hope this is one bad dream
Never forced to see outside this realm
And I’m terrified of what you have to tell
Can’t hear the words you have to say
So back away from me
Screaming to the skies, “When will my kingdom come?”
Back and forth through your mind and equal to none.
Will there be a day when the two become one?
Confronted with this fate I can only run.
Hands are tied behind my back
And I can’t see but can’t open my eyes
All my life has not been as it seems
I can only hope this is one bad dream
I don’t wanna crucify myself
On the cross with what you have to tell
Can’t hear the words you have to say
So back away from me
Screaming to the skies, “When will my kingdom come?”
Back and forth through your mind and equal to none.
Will there be a day when the two become one?
Confronted with this fate I can only run.
I’ve been waiting on you for quite some time.
Left alone. Force to redefine,
Recreate, realign.
I’ve realized the end is mine.
Keep me waiting.
Keep me wasting my own time.
Keep me starving but I’ll
Take what’s mine.
Keep me hanging;
Leave me without any sign.
Keep me running but I’ll
Take what’s mine.
I’ve been waiting on you for quite some time.
Moving on; we must redefine.
I came to take—I came to take what’s mine.
Holding on forever, I can’t find you
Keep me waiting.
Keep me wasting my own time.
Keep me starving.
I must redefine.
Keep me hanging.
Leave me without any sign.
Keep me running but I’ll
Take what’s mine.
It’s just a metaphor
For another day
In another time
In another place
In a new light
On a darker day
In the shadows
Of another place
Faced with this darkest of evils
Shrouding all I’ve ever known
Bearing my own greatest burden
And cursed by all I’ve ever shown
Tortured by the martyrs
That claim to be the ones
Chosen by divine will
To ensure the end will come
Spoken like a savior
Spoken like a saint
Spoken like an angel
The whisper is so faint
But calling for a hero
I am the only one
Chosen by divine will
To ensure the end will come
Here in the absence of truth I’m terrified
Born to bear this to the bitter end
