The devil got his claws into the human population way back in the Garden of Eden. He knows that he is defeated, but he wants to take as many of us down with him as he can. The first step to avoiding him is to understand how and why he is here.
The devil went down to Eden; He was out to steal a human soul.
He was all in a snoot, ‘Cause Heaven gave him the boot;
Revenge was his very next goal.
He slithered on up to the woman; She was young and fresh and pure.
He looked her straight in the eye, as he told her a lie
He said that God was holding out on her.
The devil he tempted the woman; He said “You won’t surely die!
God doesn’t want you to grow, He wants to keep you down low;
But this fruit will make you wise.”
Well the woman believed the devil; That the fruit would make her wise.
So she ate fruit from the tree; The rest is history;
God opened up both their eyes.
