Sympathy for the Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for so many years
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was around when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Oh, pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out "Who killed liberty?"
When after all it was you and me

Oh, pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners, saints
Sure as heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
Because I'm in need of some restraint

If you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you hope you guessed my name
What's confusing you
Is the nature of my game

I'll take you higher, I'll take you higher
I'll take you higher, I'll take you higher

I'll drag you lower, drag you lower
And drag you down down down down
Down down way down down
I'll drag you lower, drag you lower
And drag you down down down down
Down down way down down

Do you know me? Do you know me?
Have you guessed yet? Have you guessed yet?

You need me, you want me
You'll need me, and you'll want me
I'll lift you higher, lift you higher
Send you higher

I love you and you need me

Say my name now, say my name now
Say my name now, say my name now
Call it louder, shout it louder
Scream it louder, call my name

You know, you know my name

Call me Lucifer, Call me Beelzebub
Call me, hold me, Call me Satan
I hear you, I hear you i hear you call me

Call it louder, now you feel it
I'm in your head now, I'm in your head now
Call me, feel me, I'm in your head now
I'm getting deeper, I'm getting deeper

Sing my name now, sing my name now
Sing my name now, sing my name now
Sing it louder, say it louder
Say it louder, say it louder

Just call me Lucifer, call me Lucifer
Call me Lucifer
I'm Lucifer, just call me by name

Shout my name now, shout my name now
Shout my name now, shout my name now
I'll take you higher

Down down down down down down way down down
Way down down down, way down
Lucifer, Lucifer lucifer, Lucifer
Lucifer

Say my name, say my name
Call my name, call it louder
Call it louder, lift it higher
Lift it higher

Have you guessed yet? Have you guessed yet?
Have you guessed my name? I'm Lucifer
