When the devil comes to get you, it won’t be a horror show
He’ll be a boss and come across as someone you want to know
He’ll seduce you and affect you and when you’re taken in
He’ll make a sin of virtue, and make virtue out of sin
You’ll say that he’s a prophet, a servant of the Lord
And swear he speaks the gospel as you hang on every word

When the devil comes to get you, you’ll look into his eyes
And find yourself indulging things you know you should despise
Like avarice and hatred and cruelty and greed
Turning away strangers and rejecting those in need
You’ll swear that he’s a prophet, a servant of the Lord
You'll blindly follow ‘til you reap your ultimate reward

When the Devil comes to get you, he won’t be dressed in red
No trident fork. No pointy tail. No horns upon his head
He’ll bring a curse upon you. You’ll think that you’ve been blessed
As he summons up the basest thoughts you try to keep repressed
You’ll claim he’s persecuted when justice comes to call
Then just like that he’ll turn on you and let you take the fall

When to your very thinking, you’ve ceded him control
You may not recognize it but the Devil has your soul!
