paroles de chanson An Audience With The Devil Restrung - Hilltop Hoods

(When people hear about some psycho killer)
(It can lead them to thinking about the nature of evil)
(Which leads to thoughts about
Right or wrong, bad or good)
(All that thinking can get ugly)
(Yeah, you don't want to consider a crap like that)
(You just want them to go through a routine for living their lives)
(Yeah, what do you do to cut their soul?)

I was granted an audience in the devils maze
I sat by his throne and we talked for days
He told me about his ancient battles with arch-angels
He told me loneliness was the torture most painful
He said if I filled my lifetime with sin
I could earn myself a seat that was right by him
And if I didn't, that was fine by him
'Cause everyday a million souls just fly right in

He could barely keep up with the souls of all the people
It's not easy being sole controller of all evil
He said "So many people want to burn with me"
"I swear free wills a bitch and so's eternity"
"So what you learn from me" "might save you from suffering"
"You don't want to see the bowels of the earth rupturing"
"Take a breath, suck it in, I got more to tell"
"And time's of no consequence when you're in hell"

("What do you do to cut their soul?")
I don't do squat anymore, they do it all for you
("I'm not sure I'm following")
Mankind has progressed to a point in its dimwitted history
Where life has been drained of all its enchantment

I had a lot of questions
I asked the devil to explain
"Why I always think that people have it in for me?"
"And why I always feel like the sky's closing in on me?"
This is what he said
"The sky's not falling it's just angels committing suicide"
"'Cause they're so saddened by humans using genocide"
"As a political tool"
"Considering all"
"You humans have the way you act belittles you all"

"Now hell is so full that we started expanding"
"Damnation is a business and the markets demanding"
I asked him "if the city street buckled and cracked"
"And hell rose to earth then would heaven collapse?"
(He smiled); I knew that smile was his response
I thought to myself, he's almost got what he wants
He said "I'll tell you my one desire"
"That's for earth itself to become my empire"
"Every politicians like a gun for hire"
"Even the church of nativity's come under fire"
"So you can tell I'm getting close to my goal"
"Of creating a world where I can torture every soul" and

Sitting with the devil, this is what I learnt
Apart from the ways a human soul can be burnt, it's that
Though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned
To make those same mistakes again and again

Sitting with the devil, this is what I learnt
Apart from the ways a human soul can be burnt, it's that
Though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned
To make the same (again and again), again and again

(Again and again), again and again
Again and again, again and again

Check, time keeps, time keeps slipping away
Like I keep, I keep slipping away
Like time keeps, time keeps slipping away
Like I keep, I keep slipping away
Like time keeps, time keeps slipping away
Like I keep, I keep slipping away
Like time keeps, time keeps slipping away
Like I keep, I keep slipping away, I keep slipping away
