Devil Running

A sun does rise from distant lands

Tears run and fires burning

He find first place with dirty hands

He graduates man without learning.

Agenda set

So long ago

This son's a puppet with a master

The hands stand still right by his side

Middle finger on the button of disaster.

And most of us we stand and watch

Like old lady getting handbag stolen

It's time to chase, chase them criminals

I see the devil and the devil is running.

Bad business ties turn out sour

Backstabbed man nothing forgotten

And in an unforgotten hour

Seeds fall from an apple rotten.

Now hate and fear have their own way

And don't the scum just love the distraction

Black blood will need to be lanced

And when it's found you just blame the guilty faction.

And now it's time not just to watch

Like old lady getting handbag stolen

It's time to chase, chase them criminals

I see the devil and the devil is running

And now it's time not just to watch

Like old lady getting handbag stolen

It's time to chase, chase them criminals

I see the devil and the devil is running
