P. J. Harvey - The Devil lyrics

Black candles slowly burning, white fangs and flashing eyes

Hell's wind and incantations summon living fire,

Darkest forces and your demon's black order, black king

The cult that serves the living, accept this offering

Black candles slowly burning, white fangs and flashing eyes

Hell's wind and incantations summon living fire,

As the seven steps await, hear the great bell toll

With a dead man's bones conjure, the enemy of the soul

From the misery and sadness, of the molten seas of hell

Mystic love and mystic symbols in evil dreams there dwell

Darkest forces and your demon's black order, black king

The cult that serves the living, accept this offering

A deadly drink, a meal of hearts, now sacrifice and die

In darkness and destruction, behold the evil eye

And the Demon's whip

Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane

Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave

Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive

By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve

In the place where evil dwells death can live when all life dies

Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky

Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves born on the wind

To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin

Night winds, Oblivion see my dark desire

Come forth, appear he is living fire

Feel the Demon's whip

Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane

Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave

Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive

By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve

In the place where evil dwells death can live when all life dies

Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky

Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves borne on the wind

To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin

Feel the Demon's whip
