“The Father of Lies (Get Behind Me, Satan!)” draws on Jesus’ identification of the devil as the source of falsehood and his rebuke of Peter for resisting the path to the Cross. Dark, forceful textures present temptation as deception: the offer of safety, power, or escape in exchange for truth, obedience, and spiritual purpose.
Lyrics
"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. " - John 8:44
