Shadows of The Mind - P-Arthism
(Verse 1)
There’s no serpent in the shadows, no pitchfork in the flames,
Just a whisper in the Garden— “Choose your own name.”
Ha’satan’s not a monster, but the ego’s twisted game,
Dual thoughts that split the soul, blind us to our true frame.
(Chorus)
Oh, we painted devils red, but the battle’s in our head,
Hell’s a heart that won’t forgive, a love left unfed.
No fire below the earth, just the pain we manifest,
Renew the mind, break the chains— let the Spirit do the rest!
(Verse 2)
Demons? Just old idols, dust on Deuteronomy’s page,
Fears dressed as gods in a superstitious age.
When the Healer touched the broken, called out “darkness” by its name,
He met them in their frailty— mercy was the aim.
(Chorus)
Oh, we painted devils red, but the battle’s in our head,
Hell’s a heart that won’t forgive, a love left unfed.
No fire below the earth, just the pain we manifest,
Renew the mind, break the chains— let the Spirit do the rest!
(Bridge)
Dante’s ink, a poet’s trick, gave the devil horns and wings,
But the Tree of Knowledge’s fruit? That’s the poison that we sing.
Hades means “unseeing”— when we turn from love’s bright spark,
We build our cages here, chasing glory in the dark.
(Verse 3)
The Kingdom’s not in skies above, but in hands that lift the weak,
In the words that heal, not curse, in the kindness that we speak.
Hell’s a lie we’ve echoed loud, but the Truth’s a River flowing—
Wash the blindness from your eyes; see the Light you’ve been sowing.
(Outro)
So cast no blame to phantom fiends, nor let your heart grow cold,
The war’s not fought with pitchforks— it’s the Love we fail to hold.
Rise from ash, let Grace ignite, let Living Waters start—
Hell dissolves when we behold the Eden in our heart.
(Final Chorus)
Oh, we painted devils red, but the battle’s in our head,
Hell’s a heart that won’t forgive— now Love instead!
No fire, no chains, no night— just the dawn we resurrect,
Renew the mind, Christ’s Design— in Him, we are perfect.
