Deviltry Lyrics - Cold Heaven - Babylon Whores

"Oh rose, thou art sick 

The invisible worm that flies in the night 

In the howling storm 

Has found out thy bed of crimson joy 

And his dark secret love 

Doth life destroy" 

(Wm. Blake) 

Oh fallen star of wormwood grace 

Grant me the smile of Janus face 

Give me a twin identity 

A false integrity 

To my city set upon the hill 

With a godlike view at my own will 

Give me the cure for the world's pain 

Give me the god of Cain 

For damned in forbearance I have crawled 

Half awake Ive gotten old 

I got the gum card of every sin 

Sent for the Christ to win 

Deviltry 

Some simple deviltry 

Black deviltry 

The vice of kings and knaves 

The king of kings and knaves 

Bunch of slaves 

For I got no promises to keep 

Wouldn't bother to sow even less to reap 

And I know there's sense in being sane 

There's reality to blame 

But I still got something resembling pride 

So one more time give me a ride 

Crush in my nasal bone and ride 

Rattle my spine
