Combined the first three verses of one song, with an instrumental. The evening after writing, publishing the demo of the instrumental, I heard the lyrics of the other song, playing in my mind, for no particular reason, and thought, jah, that'll work :) And so, here it is.
The lyric inspired by an American Spiritual I first decided to re-write and musicate back in 2017. The version I was working on was not quite feeling right, - then this.
Satan, your kingdom must come down
Satan, gonna break your kingdom now
You've been building your kingdom over this land
Satan, we're gonna tear your body down
Preachers, gonna preach your kingdom down
Preachers, gonna teach your kingdom down
You've been spreading your mayhem over this land
Satan, we're gonna tear your body down
Weak-ones gonna pray your kingdom gone
Weak-ones gonna say your kingdom's done
You ain’t building your sadness over this land
Weak-ones, we’re gonna send your sadness down
