Lyrics
[Verse]
The devil's grin is wide tonight, his shadow on the land,
Hatred's flame burns in the hearts of those who raise their hands.
Our leaders sold their souls away for gold and fleeting fame,
Now pride and fear have paved the path, and no one's left to blame.
[Verse 2]
The courthouse bell has cracked in two, its chime a mournful wail,
Justice turned her eyes away, her balance frail and pale.
The coward's oath, the liar's creed, they echo in the halls,
While Satan laughs and taps his boots against these crumbling walls.
[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see the fire we've stoked, the hatred we let grow?
The seeds we plant with bitter hands are all we’ll ever sow.
And in the night, the devil's laugh rings cold across the sky,
He knows we've done his work for him; we watched our goodness die.
[Verse 3]
Our brothers turn on brothers now, our sisters hide in fear,
The love that held us close is gone, the end is drawing near.
We preach of faith, we speak of peace, but venom's on our tongues,
The hymns we sang to lift us up are left forever unsung.
[Bridge]
Oh, arrogance and cowardice, the chains that hold us down,
We sold our better angels cheap for power and a crown.
The devil grins, his work is done, his laughter fills the air,
And in our hearts, we know the truth—we put him waiting there.
[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see the fire we've stoked, the hatred we let grow?
The seeds we plant with bitter hands are all we’ll ever sow.
And in the night, the devil's laugh rings cold across the sky,
He knows we've done his work for him; we watched our goodness die.

Satan is laughing at how easy it was to take over with hatred and intolerance. Our leaders sold their souls for their pride and arrogance and cowardice. Our countrymen condemn themselves with hatred.
