268 How Satan Uses Social Trends to Corrupt Man
Intro
Satan takes advantage of social trends to corrupt man.
Verse 1
The ideas social trends give people,
the way they make people act in the world,
the life goals and views they bring about
can influence man’s state of mind.
These trends come one after another,
they carry an evil influence
that debases man, causing them
to lose conscience, humanity, reason.
Pre-chorus
This lowers their morals they have
and their quality of character,
leaving man with no integrity,
no humanity, conscience, reason.
Refrain
Satan takes advantage of social trends to corrupt man.
Verse 2
Satan lures man, using social trends,
step by step into the devils’ nest,
so that those caught up in social trends
advocate wealth, evil and violence.
Once these things have entered people’s heart,
they then become the devil Satan!
For they start to like evil, violence,
with no love for beauty, goodness, peace.
Refrain
Satan takes advantage of social trends to corrupt man.
Bridge
People don’t want to live simple lives,
but wish for high status and great wealth,
reveling in pleasures of the flesh,
giving all to satisfy their flesh,
doing whatever they desire,
no restraints, no bonds holding them back.
Refrain
Satan takes advantage of social trends to corrupt man.
Verse 3
When man becomes immersed in these trends,
they become more and more evil,
more arrogant and condescending,
more selfish and more malicious.
Affection between people is gone,
no love between family members,
no more understanding for friends,
human relations filled with violence.
Refrain
Satan takes advantage of social trends to corrupt man.
Outro
Everyone wants to use violence
to live amongst their fellow man,
for their livelihoods, status, profits.
They use violent and evil ways
to do anything they want to do.
Is this mankind not terrifying?
