Released from reason Alive with pain The actors change The play is the same As he and his ministers converse I peeked out from behind the well And oh how I 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 the distance they beat the drums Amidst the blood and rubble, I look for souvenirs to sell And oh how I 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 gunna do some things that I've never done before, I'm gunna find out what the screamin's about On the other side of that door So don't you bother callin' 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
