about

Sympathy For The Devil, Criminal Mind, etc. - a subgenre of songs written from the devil's point of view. Also the chorus conjued up some sort of gothic Irish pub song.

lyrics

I've been round the world
At least a time or two
I've been gone so long. baby
Since I've last seen you

I've sailed the seven seas
And wept upon their shores
Slept under darkened skies
Broke down all the doors

The scars upon my face
Frighten little ones
But the ones etched upon my soul
Would frighten everyone

I've been waging war
I've been spilling blood
There's no end to the river
And what rises from the mud

Chorus

You know I'm a hellion up from hades
It's a rebellion for sin's wages
I am the troublemaker who is contagious
Dancing on the graves through the ages

There's only so much time
There's only so much light
It's when you're running low
That you begin to fight

The priests speak of mercy
The poets favour grace
The pious say their prayers
I assure them it's a waste

I've worn a lot of faces
Taken many names
And there's scarcely any traces
But you know me just the same

I'm the ageless one
Born to walk this earth
Death was sworn to shun me
From the day of my birth

You know I'm a hellion up from hades
It's a rebellion for sin's wages
I am the troublemaker who is contagious
Dancing on the graves through the ages


The broken and the lost
The beaten and the spurned
They always turn to me
What I fill them with it burns

Drink from the lake of lust
Bath in the spring of greed
I spread it like a virus
All this hatred that I breed

Do exactly as you wish
Take everything you want
Leave no stone unturned, baby
Find me in my haunt

I know you are my queen
We share the same desire
If I said I had enough
Well, you know I am a lier

You know I'm a hellion up from hades
It's a rebellion for sin's wages
I am the troublemaker who is contagious
Dancing on the graves through the ages
