Hilltop Hoods - Audience with the devil

^AmI was granted an audience in the devils maze, ^CI sat by his throne and we talked for days,

^FHe told me about his ancient battles with arch-angels, ^CHe told me loneliness was the torture most painful,

^AHe said if I filled my lifetime with sin, ^EmI could earn myself a seat that was right by him,

^GAnd if I didn't, that was fine by him, ^DCos everyday a million souls just fly right in,

^AmHe could barely keep up with the souls of all the people, ^CIt's not easy being sole controller of all evil,

^FHe said “Too many people want to burn with me, ^CI swear free wills a bitch and so's eternity,

^ASo what you learn from me might save you from suffering, ^EmYou don't want to see the bowels of the earth rupturing,

^GTake a breath, suck it in, I got more to tell, ^DAnd time's of no consequence when you're in hell.”

^AI had a lot a questions; ^EmI asked the devil to explain

^CWhy I always think that people have it in for me? ^FAnd why I always feel like the sky's closing in on me?

^GThis is what he said, ^C“The sky's not falling it's just angels committing suicide,

^FCos they're so saddened by humans using genocide, ^CAs a political tool, considering all you humans have,

^FThe way you act belittles you all, ^CNow hell is so full that we started expanding,

^ADamnation is a business and the markets demanding.” ^EmI asked him if the city streets buckled and cracked,

^GAnd hell rose to earth then would heaven collapse? ^DHe smiled; I knew that smile was his response,

^AmI thought to myself, he's almost got what he wants, ^CHe said “I'll tell you my one desire,

^FThat's for earth itself to become my empire, ^CEvery politicians like a gun for hire.

^AEven the church of nativity's come under fire, ^EmSo you can tell I'm getting close to my goal,

^GOf creating a world where I can torture every soul.” ^DSitting with the devil, this is what I learned,

^AApart from the ways a human soul can be burned, ^EmIt's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned,

^GTo make those same mistakes again and again, ^DSitting with the devil, this is what I learned,

^AApart from the ways a human soul can be burned, ^EmIt's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned,

^GTo make those same mistakes ^Dagain and again, again and again,

^Aagain and again, again and again.

^EmAnd Time keeps, time keeps slipping away, ^ALike I keep, I keep slipping away,

^EmMy time keeps, time keeps slipping away, ^ALike I keep, I keep slipping away,

^GMy time keeps, time keeps slipping away, ^DLike I keep, I keep slipping away,

^EmMy time keeps, time keeps slipping away, ^ALike I keep, Like I keep -

^GI keep slipping away, I keep slipping^D away...
