God and Satan walked hand-in-hand
Along the promenade,
Taking turns and laughing
For the fools they would save.
God said "Lucy, don't ever leave.
I don't know what I'd do."
Satan smiled and shook His head,
"I couldn't even if I wanted to."
They wandered through the forest
And glimpsed a girl beneath a tree.
The Devil said, "Do you want this one
Or are you leaving her for me?"
The Good Lord stretched out His hand
And plucked an apple from a bough
And sent it toppling through the leaves
Unto the girl below.
They strolled along the water's edge
And saw a man building a boat.
Satan said, "This river's turned red.
Let's see how well they float."
His arms flailed a violent storm,
His eyes, torrential rain,
And when it was finished,
God turned to Him and said,
"I'd have done the same."
They journeyed down a desert path
Amidst the sand and stone
And spied a man upon the cliffs,
Weary and alone.
"He looks emaciated," said God.
"I doubt he'll last the night."
But before the words had left His lips,
The Devil had taken flight.
He met the man upon the rocks
And offered him some bread.
When the man refused,
Satan bid his angels come
Carry him instead.
The man just sighed,
And the Devil thought,
"I know what I'll do.
This man requires reason,"
And he brought the world into view.
The man looked on and saw beyond
Mirrors and locked doors.
Satan said, "Don't forget, son,
This place is already yours."
Then they departed
As the man descended
The jagged desert slope.
The Devil said, "Maybe that did something."
God just said, "I hope."
Years had passed
When next they saw him
Speaking to some friends.
No one seemed to notice
That things were winding to an end.
Lucifer waved towards him,
God gave him a wink,
Then they caught sight of a tavern
And stopped in for a drink.
The Devil ordered something tasty,
God ordered something strong,
And a drunken Roman soldier
Joined them in a toast,
"To being wrong!"
And stumbling out,
A crowd had gathered,
A holy man had died.
The townsfolk gathered weapons,
And the two of them went back inside.
God and Satan walk hand-in-hand
Down a grassy moonlit heath,
Taking turns and laughing
For the souls that they will meet.
God says, "Lucy, don't ever leave.
I don't know what I'd do.
Satan smiles and shakes His head,
"Friend, that goes double for you."
