Do you see the devil coming? Do you see him standing there? See him standing by your gravesite? Can you cure him with a prayer?
Can you see him in the pulpit? Can you see him breathing fire?
Can you see him by your gravesite? Can you see him smiling wide?
See him standing with him arms out, see him grinning, beckoning on?
Have you lived your life unwisely, hurt too many, loved too free?
Is he standing by your side, now? is he waiting, watching close?
Will he take them to his bosom? Will he touch them with his flame?
If you've had a friend to bury, is he there to lay them down?
Do you see him in the graveyard, beckoning to me and you?
Do you hear him in the pulpit, preaching fire, damnation, hell?
Do you feel him in your mind, now, leading you toward your end?
You know he'll be there by your gravesite, in cheer and exaltation
Watch him closely, Oh my friend, now, for he'll sneak up from behind |
