Band of Rain: Listen

Debts to The Devil

(Band of Rain)

DEVILS DEBTS

In dense dark forests and graveyards of old

In dark damp houses, rooms empty and cold

From  still wet caves, deep inside the earth

In fires which crackle, hot in the hearth

 

Making winds scream and howl

While clouds fill the skys

And all he can use, to confuse and disguise

 

The debts to the devil

Are debts of the dead

The debts to the devil

Are written blood red

The debts to the devil

Are debts of the dead

The debts to the devil

 

The rich cannot tell

Of hell pacts they signed

The contracts with ol’ nick

They thought would not bind

 

When Nick has marked you, don’t think he forgets

He returns when youre dying

To settle all debts

 

Chorus.

 

The asylums are full of those

Them that have seen

The horns of ol’ satan

When he’s lifted the screen

 

The signs of illusion

Deception his key

A tempting intrusion

You're no longer free
