The Devil's Footprint Lyrics - Battering Ram - Saxon

Twas in the year of our Lord 1855 

The snow lay thick far and wide 

Over rooftops through the fields 

Did Satan leave his mark? 

Something evil passed thy way 

Twas a creature of the dark 

Send him back from whence he came 

There rose up the hew and cry 

Protect thy self from fear and pain 

The Devils footprint comes again

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

All was still no sound was heard 

The snow was crisp and white 

Something walked across the land 

Until the morning light 

Over rooftops through the fields 

What made this cloven path 

No one knew what beast it was 

That left this ghostly track 

Lock your doors and shutters tight 

There's demons riding out tonight 

Sent from hell to test your faith 

Pray to God to keep you safe 

From the Devils footprints

In the morn' the hoof prints clear 

Over valley town and weir 

Twas no human made this mark 

Something evil in the dark 

Gather sword and shot they cry 

Kill the beast and send it nigh 

Back to hell from whence it came 

Never tread this path again 

Lock your doors and shutters tight 

There's demons riding out tonight 

Sent from hell to test your faith 

Pray to God to keep you safe 

From the Devils footprints 

From the Devils footprints 

See the Devil riding out tonight 

Over rooftops till the morning light 

Bring your sword and send him back to hell 

Cast him forth to where the demons dwell 

They searched till dusk found not a thing 

No one knows what night will bring 

Could it be the hounds from hell 

Satan's work? No one can tell 

Listen careful in the night 

Keep the children out of sight 

Save their souls repent thy sin 

The beast will come when night begins 

Lock your doors and shutters tight 

Demons riding out tonight 

Sent from hell to test your faith 

Pray to God to keep you safe 

Lock your doors and shutters tight 

Demons riding out tonight 

Sent from hell to test your faith 

Pray to God to keep you safe
