John Brown's Body - Speak Of The Devil lyrics

rate me

You should be that sound, don't ya speak that name

You better turn around/ and begin again

Righteous the river flow/ you cannot go against

Don't you trust in those, who would speak that name

My life's an open book, want you to reason it

Watch who you call upon, survivals not a game

Speak of the devil and he will appear

Speak only truth and let your words be clear- so you hear

Declare the truth in prayers you speak

To defeat all those who seek to rule with fire and fear

x 2

Don't sleep for wolves are near

You got to keep your eyes open in this atmosphere

So don't you hold on to old lies that have lost their rhyme

Keep the words that still guide you

Watch who you speak them to

Don't come seeking sympathy

You'll have to answer for things you have been promoting

You'll find that none of the laws you wrote to fight the "immoral"

Can be call natural- we oppose your guidance

You speak in parables but fighting for your devilish dreams

Reciting words to deceive- a lonely soul you'll be

Speak of the devil and he will appear

Speak only truth and let your words be clear- so you hear

Declare the truth in prayers you speak

To defeat all those who seek to rule with fire and fear

x 2

Speak words you want to believe

Don't forget that in time they will

Fulfill their prophecy

You betray your own faith so they hear you

Don't believe the sounds you hear

Or how they justify proof they try to engineer

Meditate on the crimes that lie in plain sight

Feel the earth move and cry out

Don't blind yourself to the truth

Don't claim you're not a part of it

You can't just shut your eyes to the world you're living in

Remember it first starts with a spark to spread some light

Now these words will ignite fires to bless the chosen few

You speak in parables but fighting for your devilish dreams

Reciting words to deceive- a lonely soul you'll be

Speak of the devil and he will appear

Speak only truth and let your words be clear- so you hear

Declare the proof in prayers you speak

To defeat all those who seek to rule with fire and fear
