Текст песни An Audience With the Devil - 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 or bad or good")
("All that thinking can get ugly")
("Yeah, you don't want to consider crap like that")
("You just want them to go through with living their lives")
("Hm, what do you do to gut their souls?")

I was granted an audience in the (Devil's maze)
I sat by his throne and we talked for days
He told me about his ancient battles with Arch-Angel's
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 soul's just fly right in

He could barely keep up with the soul's of all the people
It's not easy being sole controller of all evil
He said "Too many people want to burn with me!"
"I swear free wills a bitch and so is eternity!"
"So what you learn from me"
"Might save you from sufferin'"
"You don't want to see the bowels of the earth rupturin'"
"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 gut their soul's?")
("I don't do squat anymore, they do it all for you!")
("I'm not sure if I'm following?")
("Mankind has progressed to a point in it's dim-witted history")
("Where life has been drained of all its enchantment")

I had a lot a question's
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? (In on me)
This is what he said
"The sky's not falling it's just Angel's committing suicide"
"'Cause they're so saddened by human's using genocide as a political tool"
"Considering all you human's have the way you act belittles you all!"

"Now, Hell is so full that we started expandin'"
"Damnation is a business and the markets demanding"
I asked him if the city street's 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 want's!"
He said "I'll tell you my one desire"
"That's for earth itself to become my empire"
"Every politician's 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!"

Sitting with the Devil, this is what I learnt
Apart from the way's 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 way's 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), 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
My time keeps, time keeps slipping away
Like I keep, I keep slipping away
My time keeps, time keeps slipping away
Like I keep, I keep slipping away
My time keeps, time keeps slipping away
Like I keep, I keep slipping away
I keep slipping away

("Mankind has progressed to a point in it's dim-witted history")
("Where life has been drained of all its enchantment")
("All I gotta do is sit back and enjoy, he he")
