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
