HILLTOP HOODS lyrics : "An Audience With The Devil"

[Intro: Spoken]

"When people hear about some pyscho killer, it can lead them to thinking about the nature of people, which leads to

thoughts about right and wrong, bad or good"

"All that thinking can get ugly"


"Yea, you don't want em considering crap that, you just want em to go through a routine, while living their lives"


"what do you do to gut their souls?"

[Verse 1]


I was granted an audience in the devils base
I sat by his throne and we talked for days

he told me bout his ancient battles
with arch angels
He told me loneliness was a torture most painful


He said if I filled my lifetime with sin
I could earn myself a seat that was right by him

If I didn't, that was fine by him
Cos everyday a million souls just fly right in,


He could barely keep up
with the souls of the people
its not easy be soul controller

of all evil

He said so many people

wanna burn with me,
I swear free wills a (*##$
and so's eternity


So watcha learn from me
My saviour from suffering

Ya don't, wanna see, the bowels,
of the earth, rupturing


Take a breath suck it in
I've got more to tell
and times of the consequence

when you're in hell

[Interlude]


"Whad do ya do to gut their souls "


"I don't do squat anymore they do it all for ya"

"I'm not sure i'm following?


"Mankind has progressed to a point in its doomgood history, where life has been drained of all its enchantment"


Suffa " I had a lot of questions , i asked the devil to explain-"

[Verse 2]


Why I always think that,
people have it in for me

And why I always feel like
the sky is closing in on me


(This is what he said)

The skies not falling

its just angels committing suicide
Cos their so saddened by humans-
using genocide


As a political tool
considering all

ya humans are the way you are
belittles you all


Now heavens so full that we started expanding
Damn nation is a business
and the markets demanding

I asked him if a city street

buckled it cracked and hell
rose to earth then would heaven collapse?

He's gone
I knew that smile was his response

I thought to myself
he's almost got what he wants

He said I'll tell ya
my one desire

that's for earth itself,
to become, my empire.

Every politicians like a
gun for hire

Even the church of nativity's
come under fire

So you can tell I'm getting
close to my goal
Of creating a world where i can

torture every soul and

[Chorus: sort of]

Sitting with the devil
this is what i learnt
Apart from the ways a

human soul can be burnt

Its that,
though we learn from our mistakes
we're condemned- to make the same mistakes
again and again


(And time keeps
Time keeps slipping away
Like I keep
I keep slipping away)
