Jamie Messenger - An Audience with the Devil Restrung lyrics

[Intro (Sampled)] "When people hear about some psycho k**er, it can lead them to thinking about the nature of evil, which leads to thoughts about right or wrong – bad or good." "All that thinking can get ugly." "Yeah! You don't want to consider a crack like that. You just want them to go through their routine of living their lives." "What do you do to gut their souls?" [Verse 1: Suffa] I was granted an audience in the devils maze I sat by his throne and we talked for days He told me 'bout his ancient battles with arch-angels He told me loneliness was the torture most painful He said if I filled my lifetime with sin I could earn myself a seat that was right by him If I didn't, that was fine by him 'Cause everyday a million souls just fly right in He could barely keep up with the souls of all the people It's not easy being sole controller of all evil He said “So many people want to burn with me I swear free wills a b**h and so's eternity So what you learn from me might save you from suffering You don't want to see the bowels of the earth rupturing Take a breath, s** it in, I got more to tell And time's of no consequence when you're in hell.” [Interlude (Sampled)] "What do you do to gut their souls?" "I don't do squat anymore. They do it all for you." "I'm not sure I'm following." "Mankind has progressed to a point in its dim-witted history where life has been drained of all of its enchantment." [Verse 2: Suffa] I had a lot of questions, I asked the devil to explain... Why I always think that people have it in for me? And why I always feel like the sky's closing in on me? He said "The sky's not falling it's just angels committing suicide 'Cause they're so saddened by humans using genocide As a political tool, considering all You humans have, the way you act belittles you all Now hell is so full that we started expanding Damnation is a business and the markets demanding" I asked him if a city street buckled and cracked And hell rose to earth then would heaven collapse? He smiled; I knew that smile was his response I thought to myself, he's almost got what he wants He said "I'll tell you my one desire That's for earth itself to become my empire Every politicians like a gun for hire Even the church of nativity's come under fire So you can tell I'm getting close to my goal Of creating a world where I can torture every soul" [Chorus: Suffa] Sitting with the devil, this is what I learned Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned It's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned To make those same mistakes again and again Sitting with the devil, this is what I learned Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned It's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned To make those same mistakes again and again Again and again Again and again Again and again [Post-Chorus: Suffa] And time keeps, time keeps slipping away Like I keep, I keep slipping away Like time keeps, time keeps slipping away Like I keep, I keep slipping away Like time keeps, time keeps slipping away Like I keep, I keep slipping away Like time keeps, time keeps slipping away Like I keep, I keep slipping away, I keep slipping away
