Lyrics

The Devil's Hand

Why do you sleep in the devil's hand?
Why do you promise him what no other can?
When you know he hungers for the hopes of Man,
Why do you sleep in the devil's hand?

God knows there's peace upon the land,
and God knows there's paradise where some folks stand;
and there's flowers growing in some gardens grand
on the bones and blood in the land.

Now, the kiss that Judas gives Your Man
betrays him over to the Temple band;
and the house you've fashioned with your own two hands
topples down?and you never understand:

Why do you sleep in the devil's hand?
Why do you promise him what no other can?
When you know he hungers for the hopes of Man,
Why do you sleep in the devil's hand?

Do the right, and you are doing all.
Do wrong, and tremble when the heavens fall.
Don't try to shelter next to Fortune's wall,
'cause your Beast will find out where you crawl.

Why do you sleep in the devil's hand?
Why do you promise him what no other can?
When you know he hungers for the hopes of Man,
Why do you sleep in the devil's hand?
