Released from reason

Alive with pain

The actors change

The play’s the same

As he and his ministers conversed

I peeked out from behind the well

And, oh, how I was surprised to learn

The devil’s not the king of hell



The devil is not the king of hell

The devil is not the king of hell

A violent dance on slippery stones

The line’s gone dead

We’re all alone

The devil is not the king of hell



Smelling victory, the engine hums

Off in the distance they beat the drums

Amidst the blood and rubble

I looked for souvenirs to sell

And, oh, how I was surprised to learn

The devil’s not the king of hell



The devil is not the king of hell

The devil is not the king of hell

A violent dance on slippery stones

The line’s gone dead

We’re all alone

The devil is not the king of hell



Black was the mark

Black was the mark

Black was the mark laid on Cain

Black was the list

Black was the list

Black was the list with our names



Black was the mark

Black was the mark

Black was the mark laid on Cain

Black was the list

Black was the list

Black was the list with our names



The devil is not the king of hell

The devil is not the king of hell

A violent dance on slippery stones

The line’s gone dead

We’re all alone

The devil is not the king of hell



Tonight I’m gonna do some things

that I’ve never done before

I’m gonna find out what the screaming’s about

on the other side of that door

So, don’t you bother calling

There ain’t nobody home

Sometimes we’ve got to stand together

Sometimes alone



The devil is not the king of hell

The devil is not the king of hell

A violent dance on slippery stones

The line’s gone dead

We’re all alone

The devil is not the king of hell

The devil is not the king of hell

A violent dance on slippery stones

The line’s gone dead

The line’s gone dead

The line’s gone dead

The line’s gone dead

The line’s gone dead

The devil is not the king of hell
