AN AUDIENCE WITH THE DEVIL

(M. Lambert/D. Smith/B. Francis/D. Rankine)
Produced by Trial for Peepshow Entertainment
Written and performed by M. Lambert

Verse 1 - Suffa
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,
Cos 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 xxxxx 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, xxxx it in, I got more to tell,
And time`s of no consequence when you`re in hell."

Verse 2 - Suffa
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,
Cos 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 a 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."

Chorus
Sitting with the devil, this is what I learned,
Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned,
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 learned,
Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned,
It`s that though we learn from our mistakes we`re condemned,
To make those same mistakes again and again,
And 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
