The Devil is My Name

I am here to steal the soul's of man.

Not for any reason, but just because I can.

The day Jesus died, I called at his door,

And it was me that started 'The Great War.'

I have travelled to every part of every land.

I have led monach's to slaughter by the hand.

I've publicly killed world leaders, shot them in the head!

I've caused rebellions and watched you clear up the dead.

I don't have just one name, but am known by many.

And the sin's, to mankind, I like to give a-plenty.

I do it all with a smile upon my face.

I simply love to destroy the human race.

I do it for enjoyment, this game I play.

As long as you beleive in God, so I'll stay.

So roll the dice, take a turn in my game,

Come play with me - The Devil is my name!

~ Inspired by the song Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones ~
