Lyrics
King Of Hell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
