THE DEVIL WENT ON A JOURNEY

 

(Instrumental intro)

 

The Devil set out on a journey

It was such a lovely day         

Set out on a journey

Collecting lost Souls                            

That had fallen and strewn                       

Along the long and lonely winding way

I was looking for some action

And I met Him late that day

 

And He asked me ‘Are you going My way?’

It’s all there for the taking

I have so many games to play

Off we went, together

On the Devil’s journey               

There were no rules to obey      

Seeking sordid pleasure

Sinking deeper all the way

Sinking deeper and deeper and deeper

Each and every step along the way

Too far gone now

So let it come what may

 

With the Devil on His Journey

There is no chance to pray

While all good men do nothing

He’s free to have His sway               

And all Society

Simply falls into decay

See all those sad and lonely people

Those who’ve lost their moral mores

All the while forsaking

The old God given laws

What more can I say

So easily led astray

 

(brief interlude)

 

But a voice keeps calling

Calling out to me

Calling from deep inside of me

Struggling, struggling to get free

Struggling, struggling

And the Devil out there taunting

Taunting, taunting, taunting

Only heard the Devil taunting

 

Taunting, taunting, taunting.
