Devil Is My Name
I seek out the young, the helpless
To put their innocence under my spell
Face my wrath over yonder
And learn to serve me well
I'll break off pieces of freedom
And I'll pass them all around
To the men who celebrate my victories
Buried beneath the ground
Lord of light so sound
So sound the trumpets
And ring the bells of Babylon
And watch the walls fall down
Devil Is My Name
Remember my face before tomorrow
When the empire is up in flames
I've seen this many a'time before
Your moral hierarchy's nothing new
If you surrender to me now, my friend
There'll be no more tyranny for you
To you who challenge my domain
Your sanctimony is obsolete
It's not insanity nor enlightenment
I'm the shadow of your defeat
Lord of light so sound
So sound the trumpets
And ring the bells of Babylon
And watch the walls fall down
Devil Is My Name
Remember my face before tomorrow
When the empire is up in flames
No courtroom can win me over
Nor stature, or high seat
So tell the judge I said it was alright
And he'll let you back on the street
I've read all your scriptures
And I've made my mystic claim
In a glance, I can disappear
Because Devil Is My Name
Gamble away all your power
Call your master from within
So I can grin when it's all over
And say, "Shall we start again"
To put their innocence under my spell
Face my wrath over yonder
And learn to serve me well
I'll break off pieces of freedom
And I'll pass them all around
To the men who celebrate my victories
Buried beneath the ground
Lord of light so sound
So sound the trumpets
And ring the bells of Babylon
And watch the walls fall down
Devil Is My Name
Remember my face before tomorrow
When the empire is up in flames
I've seen this many a'time before
Your moral hierarchy's nothing new
If you surrender to me now, my friend
There'll be no more tyranny for you
To you who challenge my domain
Your sanctimony is obsolete
It's not insanity nor enlightenment
I'm the shadow of your defeat
Lord of light so sound
So sound the trumpets
And ring the bells of Babylon
And watch the walls fall down
Devil Is My Name
Remember my face before tomorrow
When the empire is up in flames
No courtroom can win me over
Nor stature, or high seat
So tell the judge I said it was alright
And he'll let you back on the street
I've read all your scriptures
And I've made my mystic claim
In a glance, I can disappear
Because Devil Is My Name
Gamble away all your power
Call your master from within
So I can grin when it's all over
And say, "Shall we start again"
