As soon as I'm left alone
The devil wanders into my soul
And I pretend to myself
And I pretend to myself
I go out
To the old milestone
Insanely expecting
You to come there
Knowing that I wait for you there
That I wait for you there
Come!
Come!
Come here at once
Come!
Come
On a night with no moon
Because all of my being is now in pining
All of my being is now in pining
What formerly had cheered me
Now seems
Insignificant
instrumental
The devil, take me now
Before I'm ushered out
'Cause you are like me
But I can bleed
And I can die
But I can't hide
From you
Prisoners of course
Taken by force
To smother my streams
Tonight in my dreams
'Cause I can die
But I can't hide
The way is clear
Away from here
If his patience had it's way with that lie I caught him in,
Would they send him back to Texas; weathered face and crooked grin.
Where they sing, "Eeee." Oh!
Drives up to the next seat and onto the roots.
Drinking up the village,
And, drinking a little more
Eeee. Oh!
Found you the bed with a hammer by your side.
Sleeping out the day
Well, it's pounding on your head.
Where they sing, "Eeee." Oh!
There's movement in the air
Just above the neck.
Bodies overturned
And its been like this for days
Well, they sing, "Eeee."
Oh!
Bring him back, motherfucker.
Bring him back, motherfucker.
Bring him back, motherfucker.
To the door, motherfucker.
Devil had its way with that lie I caught him in, would they send you back, send you back, send you back?
It's been rainin' in the mountains and the river's on
the rise.
And we cannot hardly reach the other side.
And the devil, he's in trouble; I can see it in his
eyes.
If you don't give him shelter, he won't have no place
to hide.
The devil deals in dyin' and he travels in a hearse.
He treats you like a dog, now; he'd like to treat you
worse.
But he don't have the answers, an' if he did, he'd lie.
The devil is a joker an' he don't want you alive.
An' some you win, an' some you lose,
An' the winner's all grin and the losers say:
"Deal the cards again.
"Won't you deal the cards again."
L.A.'s in California, Lord, I been there many times.
It is an education, to be sure.
I loved a lovely lady there, she opened up my eyes.
She ran a dancin' school; it was a front, she loved the
Lord.

Stalking in the night
Watching pale moonlight
Waiting for you to fall
Into the hands of the devil
Sinister evil
The devil with wicked horns
To gore the just and maim to good
And take you down into the pit of hell
The devil
Blackened is the blood
That is beating through my soul
Twisted ways and lustful sin
Loosing all control
The devil he comes for you
Damnation
The devil
You say you're falling in love.
I cry from heaven above.
This time can only be kept...
by those who never have wept.
It's strange these things that we're told.
Live fast and never grow old.
Live fast and die in your shoes
the devil, the devil, may choose.
Heeee, liii Heee, liii.
Keep up with wishes of sin.
Your life will never begin.
Cleanse now the scum in your soul.
Out the lies, the lies you've been told.
These things can always be found...
ind arkness, always in doubt.
Look up, don't age with content.
Get strong and go deep within.
Heee, liii. Heee, liii.
You say, you're falling in love.
Cry for shelter from heaven above.
Release the sin that lives in your heart.
Let the devil cry out in the dark.
Lifestyle is taking its toll.
Let yourself go just lose all control.
Just 'cause you know you are bored.
Don't you fall down upon your own sword.
In the light of my darkness
I took the devil off my train
He laughed and got back in the game
He started messing with my head
And threw a pretty girl out of my bed
Though I smile to my man downstairs
I took a chance and started a fight
With a girl from the other side
He put me in a bad bad light
And she only stayed for one night
In the light of my darkness
You'll see me smile to my man downstairs
He's just a part of what life is
The part of you who just dont care
I took the devil off my train
He laughed and got back in the game
He started messing with my head
And threw a pretty girl out of my bed
I pushed the devil off the road
Did 180 and watched the car explde
The light wave blinded my eyes
One year we marched together
Through the ripping rains
We looked to one another
As we pushed ahead in chains
One night I said, "Tomorrow,
I can find my own way home"
And I know that something followed me
That night I walked alone
In darkness I awakened
To a devil in my home
I drowned him in the water
I ground him with the stone
I threw him in the fire
Put the ashes in a hole
But somewhere in the woods that night
I dont now what's going on
You will never do remember
the one that treated you with tender
All you need is what they give
So you dont need to work no more
And all the ugly girls gets poor
And now you're bought and carried home
You'll get rich but you'll get wrong
Refr:
OOooh the Devil is a woman
She's eating you alive, and you'll never gonna pass her by
Ooooh the Devil is a woman
All she do is lie, for the money and she'll pick you dry
I dont know whats going on
Cause your look is over rated
And your kind is truly hated
All you want is what's for free
And you just cant let it be
It comes down and I know that
Get low, get low, get low, get low
Know that my body feels it
Get low, get low, get low, get low
I’m sticking needles in my goddamn arms
Get low, get low, get low, get low
Know that I feel like
Get low, get low, get low
Get low, get low, get low
It’s my way or the highway
I’ll be the one pushing you around from now on
Cos I’m the devil, I keep on beating you down
Yes I’m the devil, I keep on coming around
I’m burning and I’m burned by these things yea
I’m turning and I’m turning round these things yea
These things that I say to you but
Didn’t know that you were stuck to me like glue well
I’m burning and I’m burned by these things yea
I’m turning and I’m turning round these things yea
These things that I say to you
But I’m not your fucking whore!
If you feel like I feel then let’s live it up
Cos I know bad things’ll come and we’ll be dreaming of
That day things go away and everything will be okay
I’m burning and I’m burned by these things yea
I’m turning and I’m turning round these things yea’
These things that I say to you but
Didn’t know that you were stuck to me like glue
I’m burning and I’m burned by these things yea
I’m turning and I’m turning round these things yea
These things that I say to you
But I’m not your fucking whore!
It comes down and I know that
Get low, get low, get low, get low
Know that my body feels it
Get low, get low, get low, get low
I’m sticking needles in my fucking arms
Get low, get low, get low, get low
Know that I feel like
Get low, get low, get low
Get low, get low, get low
It’s my way or the highway, It’s my way or the highway
It’s my way or the highway
I’ll be the one pushing you around from now on
Cos I’m the devil, I keep on beating you down
The devil, I keep you coming around
It’s my way or the highway
I’ll be the one pushing you around from now on
Cos I’m the devil, I keep on beating you down
Yes I’m the devil, I keep you coming around
Yes I’m the devil, I keep on beating you down

Another sleepless night
She can't take much more
Broken promises
Scattered on the floor
Coffee in silence
She looks the other way
He leaves without a word
It's just another day.
It doesn't have to be like this
Lonely days and nights
It doesn't have to be like this
Always that voice in the back of your mind.
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know.
Another cigarette
She gave up trying to quit
Another wasted day
There's no escape from it
It hurts her head to think
She pours another drink.
It doesn't have to be like this
This ain't no kind of life
It doesn't have to be like this
Always that voice in the back of your mind.
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know.
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know.
It doesn't have to be like this
It doesn't have to be like this
Silence that voice in the back of your mind.
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know.
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know.
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
I used to be an avenging angel
To you to me to everyone I was Lucifer
Was the name that was given to me by God
But then one day I was betrayed by my master
Oh yeah it's true he set my wings aflame
And now I am condemned to live forever in hell
[Chorus:]
Still I don't know what I did wrong, and fell from grace
A fallen angel stands in flames for all mankind
My wings they burned and turned to dust they are no more
A sacred circle sealed my fate to rule in hell
And now I am an incarnation of evil but why?
I did not do no wrong did I
And all the plans that I had made for myself have gone to hell
I see no light inside these walls entombing me
There is no chance for me to run away
Into the dark I go to find my destiny
I am the ruler of the night
I am trapped in a grave
I am the bringer of all that is pain
Hear me demons down here I am your lord and you will obey me
This is our last call
We are the outcasts and we will stand tall
Fire fire and flame these are the tools that will chisel our fate
[Repeat chorus]
In the darkness something lure him evil sinks it's teeth into him
