The King of Hell

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge x2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
