Me & the Devil
[Intro: Game of Thrones (Tywin Lannister)]
You're blessed with abilities that few men posses, your blessed to belong to the most powerful...and your still blessed with youth. What have you done with these blessings?
[A.Nunn]
"Stay Close", That's what she uttered to me
"I'm your salvation, open up and let me in"
"Leave your frustration, I'm your ticket out of here"
"Don't worry 'bout the allegory of whatever Jesus said"
"Cause he was a fool, I could've saved him"
"As my own son, i would've raised him"
"Third temptation, tried to give him the whole world"
"Never-mind the fine print, that's lies from the old world"
I kissed her on the cheek
Told her, "That was not a contract, so why'd you choose me?"
She said i was a beast, but live like a leper
My mind was a feast, my body even better
It sounded real nice
She know I'm up for sale
Negotiating a price while my conscience set sail
Looked into her almond-shaped eyes, saw hell
With a plunging neck-line blue dress, do tell
No pitchfork, no horns, hooves, or tail
I heard her say "Walk with me
I watched you at Nativity
Praying to a god I'm certain that wasn't listening
Look at how he left you, sleeping in your car, bathing inside a restroom
Sitting in the park, debating about your next move
Tears in the dark the only things to caress you
Was that your deal with the 'Father'?
He pushed you to edge so you can feel like a martyr?
Unconditional Love on the condition you follow?"
But how (do) i know you're better?
Your treachery is legendary, birds of a feather
This game is a tug-of-war on something you shouldn't meddle
This soul is a black hole, its something you shouldn't enter
Something you couldn't exit
That fire in your eyes is something that never left it
A'Great Temptress' you starting to sound desperate
I operate in the realm of imagination and legend
Something you shouldn't question
We'll see though
I'll meet you both at Megiddo/
[Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron]
Early this morning
When you knockedupon my door (2x)
And I say Hello Satan
I believe its time to go
Me and the Devil
Walking side by side (2x)
