There’s a mighty big wind coming out of the sky
A rustle of leaves as it’s moving on by
And I’m just about to tell the old devil why
The reason I’m taking him down
He has stolen my life and he’s given me pain
Taken my love that I held to in vain
And now I am gonna tell that devil so plain
The reason I’m taking him down
He's been such a pain in my butt all these years
Given me sorrows and causing me tears
Haunting my dreams and inflaming my fears
Now I am taking him down
Now Satan you know that I’ve picked up your scent
I do not deserve all this misery sent
You can run for your life ‘cause I will not relent
You demon, I am taking you down
With the wind at my back, I will follow your trail
And hound you forever and swear I won’t fail
To bring you to justice - your evil impale
Lucifer, I’m taking you down
With faith on my side I will follow on through
And destroy what you have - your disciples and you
And you will know then what the Gods will not do
To find you - and then bring you down

Picking up a "Devil went down to Georgia" style fiddle-theme from this, sort of light-hearted yet still spiritually meaningful. Hits hard without much contemplation, bringing a somewhat humorous yet mostly hopeful smile to my face. Very good, unique write.
(line 9: "His" should be "He's"? for he has)

Powerful Words!
It takes a great deal of strength and devotion to keep standing up to the devils' old tricks, and you do that so well here. This is such a powerful write, so full of conviction to stand strong against the evil forces. God is always stronger though if we learn to have a devoted faith. Blessings, Patty

Thank you, my friend. I think I might have been feeling a bit lowly thisday and something like this tends to perk up the soul.

I really enjoyed reading this; there was so much power flowing through it!! And, it takes a great deal in mind,body & spirit to stand up to the devil; so all the more power to the narrator in this! Great job!

A nearby village has as it's sign the Devil being lead by a ring through his nose, I ought to find out the origins..
I like the rhythm and rhyme and the idea of taking the devil down. A lot of country songs written about beating the devil I guess we all have our own personal 'demons' we are always doing battle with.
good luck in the contest

Great write, the flow moved through this from beginning to end.
Call upon the Lord and our faith can defeat all evil.
Smite Satan in the blood of Jesus and name, casting him back to his pit..
