The king of hell

Released from reason

Alive with pain

The actors change

The play's the same

As he and his ministers conversed

I peeked out from behind the well

And oh how I was 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 distance

They beat the drums

Amidst the blood and rubble

I looked for souvenirs to sell

And oh how I was 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 gonna do some things

That I've never done before

I'm gonna find out what the screaming's about

On the other side of that door

So don't you bother calling

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 devil is not the king of hell
