Dance with the devil

Sing with the gods

Dance with the devil

Everybody wants to dance with the devil

and sing with the gods

but the devil doesn’t know how to dance

and the gods can’t sing

Everybody wants to fuck the devil

and sleep with the gods

but the devil will show his horns

and the gods don’t exist

You don’t care about what matters to the others

You just want to live in peaceful sin

You don’t care about what happens to your brothers

Eat the core and throw away the skin

Everybody wants to drink with the devil

and eat with the gods

but the devil will serve blood

and the gods drink your sin

Everybody wants to play with the devil

and go home to the gods

but the devil will play you hard

and the gods won’t let you in

In the darkest time of day you turn to god and start to pray

but the devil will reply and cannot satisfy

the doubt within that you all know too

that the devil is god and god is you
