"Black devil...what's going on ?"
There he was that little man, sitting by the altar... black devil
Carved in stone so dark and could... black devil
Help me, help me, cause I don't know what's going on
It was the early morning of the seventh day
I had been making love to angel in every single way
The sun was peeking through a window high above
That's when I saw her kiss the little devil on his head
Black devil... if you could only speak... black devil
What do you see when you're looking at me?
There he was that little man, fingers spread like claws... black devil
I wonder what it is he knows... black devil
Help me, help me, cause I don't know what's going on
Black devil... if you could only speak... black devil
What do you see when you're looking at me?
When I look around, this church on holy ground
There are things within, that should have never been
Why two pulpits in a place like this?
One facing to the east, the other to the west
One of th guilded canopies have gargoyles in the sun
And on the other canopy I see demons having fun
Black devil... if you could only speak... black devil
What do you see when you're looking at me?
Black devil always near, why don't you want me here?
I can feel your hate in my soul, I wonder what it is you know
Black devil... what's going on?
