This Way To The Egress Devil's Breath
The devil took my baby and then my soul away
Came up on my porch and he took her away
I call to heaven up above “Hey!"
But nothing comes above except the rain
I see it's come to me, I know
The devil took my babe away
She'd never see the light of day, oh
It's not like she was kickin' much
I seen her smile as he rushed, hey!
The fires in the swamp flame away
They took her body out later that day
Lookin' at me just the same, you know
Time to turn your back around so just forget my name
The devil plays his cards
Sticks his fingers inside my head
He'll be so glad when you are rotten dead
The stench is in my bones
Lookin' at me just the same, you know
Time to turn your back around so just forget my name
Well, I am going back in town
Digging up this sacred ground
I find the beast
Get her low upon her knees
Something you can't leave alone
Try crunching down up on this bone
Demon trail beneath the crust
Burn you down ashes to dust
Children stomp and play on your remains
Your head is on a pike within their games
Lookin' at me just the same, you know
Time to turn your back around so just forget my name
The devil plays his cards
Sticks his fingers inside my head
He'll be so glad when you are rotten dead
The stench is in my bones
Yeah, yeah!
Well the fool's got no notion of zero
The chariot's lost his mind
The hermit gone and joined the circus
And left temperance behind
The world has lost it's guidance
On its way to it's decent
The wheel of fortune's gone to hell
So enjoy your day of judgement
Lookin' at me just the same, you know
Lookin' at me just the same, you know
Time to turn your back around so just forget my name
(Time to turn your back around so just forget my name!)
The devil plays his cards
Sticks his fingers inside my head
He'll be so glad when you are rotten dead
The stench is in my bones
Lookin' at me just the same, you know
Time to turn your back around so just forget my name
