(Verse 1)
Scroll through the shadows on a glowing screen
The greatest web of deception that you’ve ever seen
From the "News" they manufacture to the influencers’ greed
They’re sowing every narrative and watering the seed
Get-rich schemes and cultish dreams, the crafts and the creeps
While the world stays blinded and the spirit sleeps
On Facebook and X, on the NextDoor vine
They’re claiming every fact while they’re crossing the line.
(Chorus)
Social media is the devil’s playground now
Where the kings of the boards make the simple bow
They’ll market the faith, the filth, and the fear
To keep you from seeing that the Truth is near
He’s the author of confusion, the father of lies
With a digital veil pulled over your eyes.
(Verse 2)
Satan doesn't hide in the dark anymore
He’s the algorithm knocking at your heart’s front door
He gobbles up the simple, he roars at the real
He’ll sell you a falsehood for a merchandized deal
He’s out to break the family and tear down the home
Leaving you isolated while you click and you roam
He entices you to sin, then he points the blame
To keep you in shackles and buried in shame.
(Bridge)
But look at the history, the record is clear
God is Love, and He’s casting out fear
Adam knew the voice, Moses saw the flame
Job kept the faith through the trial and the pain
David found the mercy, Esther found the grace
The Apostles saw the glory in the Savior’s face
And I know it too—the Light breaks the night
The armor is heavy, but we’re ready for the fight.
(Verse 3)
Notice how he works, notice how he moves
The moment God creates, the enemy tries to prove
That it won’t ever work, that the road is too steep
Genesis 2 to 3, the promises he tried to keep
"It’s too hard," "it’s over," "find someone new"
He’s trying to separate the spirit from the true
So be sober-minded, be watchful and wise
The lion is prowling in a digital disguise.
(Chorus)
Social media is the devil’s playground now
Where the kings of the boards make the simple bow
They’ll market the faith, the filth, and the fear
To keep you from seeing that the Truth is near
He’s the author of confusion, the father of lies
With a digital veil pulled over your eyes.
(Outro: The Victory)
Praise the Lord, for His ways are high
He reigns in the heavens and He hears every cry
Submit to the Father, resist the enemy’s hand
Draw near to the Spirit and take a firm stand
Exorcise authority, put the armor on
The darkness is fleeing, here comes the dawn
In prayer and in fasting, the footholds will break
Fellowship in Truth for the Kingdom’s sake.
Draw near to God.
(1 Peter 5:8)
