Metaphor in songwriting is key.
It is the language of truth.
It is the mechanism that turns a song timeless.
SATAN
(c) 2011 Ross Christopher
What if satan looked
A little too much like me
On a dark, dark night
If he swallowed up souls
As flippantly as I
Pass by need
What if he shot your soul
Into hell with tears
And gnashing teeth
And burning stench of trash
Oh, that's me
I cast you out
And discard your self
Am I saint?
Or satan?
