Deviltry Lyrics

Deviltry lyrics

"Oh rose, thou art sick
The invisible worm that flies in the night
In
the howling storm
Has found out thy bed of crimson joy
And his dark
secret love
Doth life destroy"
(Wm. Blake)
Oh fallen star of
wormwood grace
Grant me the smile of Janus face
Give me a twin
identity
A false integrity
To my city set upon the hill
With a
godlike view at my own will
Give me the cure for the world´s pain
Give me the god of Cain
For damned in forbearance I have crawled
Half awake Iïve gotten old
I got the gum card of every sin
Sent for
the Christ to win
Deviltry
Some simple deviltry
Black deviltry
The vice of kings and knaves
The king of kings and knaves
Bunch of
slaves
For I got no promises to keep
Wouldn´t bother to sow even less
to reap
And I know there´s sense in being sane
There´s reality to
blame
But I still got something resembling pride
So one more time
give me a ride
Crush in my nasal bone and ride
Rattle my spine
