"Move, Satan, move on out of my way."

I work in the crisis department of a hospital in Indianapolis. I frequently see people who are either depressed and/or suicidal, or people who are psychotic. Tonight I saw a woman who repeatedly screamed the title of this post. I didn't know why she'd be screaming this over and over or what to really make of this.

I decided on a whim to google her words and I discovered that she was actually quoting the lyrics to a traditional spiritual. She obviously had mental problems, because the police found her screaming outside in the middle of the night while wearing only underwear, but she didn't come up with the phrase on her own.
