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
