Songtexte JERSEY DEVIL - Calypso

Try to run and hide
Flying through the pine
With eyes open wide
Is your design

(Oh, father, deliver me from thee)

Evil lies within, gouge it out
A sacrifice of the devout
Crawling on your skin, burrowing down
Lungs and ribs will form a house

Extremities root in the mud
Lilies flourish, bathed in blood
They laugh and weep as stems are cut
And tossed on caskets of the shunned

Dead man running
To the hollowed grave
He dug himself

King, so well renowned
Fire and blades came down,
Spilled and soaked the ground
To feed the crowd
Try to run and hide
Flying through the pine
With eyes open wide
Is your design
Damnation
Looming over a prophet
Looks it dead in the face
Revenge has come to take you back and you can
Try to run and hide
Flying through the pine
With eyes open wide
Is your design

Rained down
Stained the pages
You swore
Palm to your heart
Called up to the lord

Nailed to the wood
Paraded through town
Vomiting hymns out your rotten mouth
While the possessed
Dance to the sound
Of your body turning inside out

Dead man running
To the hollowed grave
He dug himself

Gather round
And light your matches
When she rings the church bell

King, so well renowned
Fire and blades came down,
Spilled and soaked the ground
To feed the crowd
Try to run and hide
Flying through the pine
With eyes open wide
Is your design
Damnation
Looming over a prophet
Looks it dead in the face
Revenge has come to take you back and you can
Try to run and hide
Flying through the pine
With eyes open wide
Is your design

Step off your pedestal from which you bend the truth
And banish whoever defies what you spew
Follow the whispers that leak from the thickets
If you find yourself straying, just
Whistle and I'll come to you

He lures you in
(She lures you in)
To the deep dark woods
(Into the deep)
Just whistle and I'll come to you

The end is drawing closer
He kneels and he prays
Every minutes torture
He begs and he cries

Allow us to warn you
He's a very bad man
