About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Contrary to the current interpretation of the song here, I actually think the meaning is that “God will pay the devil off, so the humans don’t have to pay for their sins”. Maybe it is because I see it with Christian eyes though, but I have heard it A LOT of times with this reassuring, positive perspective in mind, so I will not change it, even though the singer may have intended the meaning to be “God is paying the devil to torment the humans”. This just still doesn’t make sense in my head though, so I am sticking with my interpretation.
