lyrics

I spoke with the Devil in the night
He said he was once an angel of light
He said he does the dirty work for God
And I’m inclined to think he’s right
He said everything is in God's will
When people steal and rape and kill
That they aren’t evil, they’re just ill
And over lifetimes they will heal
There is a story to be told
He said, and it is ages old
A tale of love and loss and pain
That every being must behold
A story of the time before
There was no battle there was no war
That God was shattered into everything
Because She wanted more
The pieces spread to near and far
The broken rays of light we are
And although we all bear that scar
Each one is still a perfect star
He said he doesn’t mind his job
He’s strong enough to tame the mob
He says illusory free will
Is always messy and macabre
