The Devil Is an Englishman
A poet walks amongst the Gods
But jealous men have pulled me down
Now exiled in a foreign land
I coax my demons into life
While people cross themselves and say
The Devil is an Englishman
Beelzebub in human form
I mingle with the noblemen
Young girls fall pleading at my feet
As I defile them one by one
Devouring half of London Town
The Devil is an Englishman
A nest of tiny scorpions
Are breeding in my cranium
Poet Laureate of hell
The Devil is an Englishman
And yet a hundred years from now
As leeches suck upon the flesh
Of those who step beyond the grave
This dark demented soul lives on
The Devil is an Englishman
But jealous men have pulled me down
Now exiled in a foreign land
I coax my demons into life
While people cross themselves and say
The Devil is an Englishman
Beelzebub in human form
I mingle with the noblemen
Young girls fall pleading at my feet
As I defile them one by one
Devouring half of London Town
The Devil is an Englishman
A nest of tiny scorpions
Are breeding in my cranium
Poet Laureate of hell
The Devil is an Englishman
And yet a hundred years from now
As leeches suck upon the flesh
Of those who step beyond the grave
This dark demented soul lives on
The Devil is an Englishman
