What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn ’round quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one - Oh no!
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan sitting there, he's smiling
Watch those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no! Please God help me!
Child cries out for his mother1
Mother's screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh No!
This is the end my friend
Satan's coming 'round the bend
people running 'cause they're scared
You people better go and beware!
No! No! Please! No!
