Devil May Cry Lyrics - Singles - Strings Of Atlas

He took a sip from the whisky jar and had a stern look on his face 

He shot a glance to the man behind the bar 

And said I hear the devil comes through this place 

The man looked shocked and he looked confused 

And then decided to go along 

He said, well sir I guess I'd be lying if I told you that you were wrong 

Took another sip, and pulled out a gun, and set it down between the two 

I hear he comes through around this time, sir, is that true 

The man shook his head and reached for a glass 

And set it down on the bar 

He said, you know mister when people go looking for him 

They don't have to look too far 

And he said 

I'm the one that'll bring him down 

Said I'm the name he fears 

I've been running down that son of a bitch 

For the better part of my years 

Then said 

I'm gonna make him pay, pay for what he'd done 

I'm gonna make him pay, pay for what he'd done 

The man at the bar poured another glass, then asked just what he did 

Said he stole my wife, and she stole my son one night and just disappeared 

Then my brother one day, we drank too much, hit a tree and now he's dead 

Now my life's just pissed away and I curse HIM for what he did 

Sounds to me like you're chasin a ghost, if I might be so bold 

Grabbed the man by the throat, put the gun to his head and said 

What do you know 

A shot rang out and somebody screamed, then everybody hit the floor 

Shot a man down that tried to run, fell right in front of the door 

And said 

I'm gonna make him pay, pay for what he'd done 

I'm gonna make him pay, pay for what he'd done 

Now ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna make this quick 

He said with a hardened look 

I expect you to tell me just when to expect that no good coward crook 

The people looked on but none said a word, you could hear a pin fall 

He looked back at the bar, and said if you don't speak up 

It's going to be last call 

Hit a man, and he grabbed his girl, said fine then, this one's through 

Sir wait, is this a joke 

I mean sir, the devil is... you
