"Revival In The Land"

by Carman
Album: Revival in the Land

In the center of the caverns of hell, hidden under layers of evil that have thrived for centuries, sits the morbid domain of the prince of the power of the air. Suddenly, a scaly creature disrupts Satan's ghastly existence with an urgent message. It reads, "Code red problem, conference needed, disaster forecasted!" With a disgusted annoyance this general of evil agrees to confer with his chief demon lieutenant. This is the story of that encounter

Satan: You may enter.
Demon: My Lord Satan.
Satan: State your business and make it fast.
Demon: Sir, we're having problems of cataclysmic proportions.
Satan: Where'
Demon: In the east sector, sir. The damage is vast.

Satan: Is there something wrong with my abortion clinics'
Demon: No, sir, that's all fine. We kill 4,000 unborn a day through, shall we say, surgical removal. It's selective breeding. We eliminate human life in the name of convenience like the Nazis and the Jews and with the government's approval.

Satan: Is there a problem with my pet project, television violence'
Demon: Sir, it's covered, from videos to cartoons. By the time a child graduates high school, he's seen 70,000 murders.
Satan: Is this effective enough'
Demon: Sir, just watch the news.

Satan: Is there a disturbance in my false religions'
Demon: No sir, business is booming. Over 40 million are into New Age and Zen. Over 45 million believe in astrology.
Satan: Looks like we're catching up.
Demon: Yes, sir. Only 50 million claim to be born again.

Satan: Is there a problem with business in general'
Demon: Sir, we're showing tremendous progress. Teenage runaways, each year a million or more. There's a teen suicide every ninety minutes and your specialty, drunk driving, will claim more lives this year that the whole Vietnam war.

Satan: Well is there a disturbance in my... What was that'
Demon: Sir, that's the reason all these demons are on crutches and wobbling.
Satan: What's going on'
Demon: Sir, that's what I've been trying to tell you.
Satan: What is that'
Demon: Sir, that is our problem.

Satan: Only one thing causes warfare of this magnitude.
Demon: Then, sir, you know what we are dealing with up there.
Satan: Yes, it's some of those sanctified
Demon: Try blood bought
Satan: Spirit filled
Demon: Saints of God
Satan: Actually
Demon: Presently
Satan
