An Audience With the Devil Restrung

When people hear about some psycho killer

It can lead them to thinking about

The nature of you

Which leads to thoughs about right or wrong

That you

All that thinking can get ugly

Yeah you don't want to consider a crack like that

You just want them to go through

A routine for living their lives

Yeah waddya do to cut their soul

I was granted an audience in the devils maze

I sat by his throne and we talked for days

He told me about 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

And if I didn't that was fine by him

'Cos 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 suck it in I got more to tell

And time's of no consequence when you're in hell

Waddya do to cut their soul

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 dimwitted history

Where life has been drained of all its enchantment

I had on a 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

The sky's not falling it's just angels committing suicide

'Cos 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

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

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
