Devils Devils Everywhere! lyrics

Her ashes burn

Our eyes

Bleak lines

On solemn faces

Concern'd we are

By our necessary deed

Moved by the

Pathetic begging of the witch.

So cruel our duty,

Yet so joyful in the Lord!

For Alas! Ye poor sinners

There's devils everywhere!

In shades they lurk

And on meadows fair.

They may obseſs your neighbour,

Your friend, your lover

For the hearts of the weak

Are their favour'd lair.

Devils devils devils devils devils everywhere

In evil eyes they dwell

And in women fair

As the Devill is a Spirit

And Prince of the ayre

He appeares in many shapes

By joyning thickned myst together

And the Devill is cunning.

By drawing out of Teats

He doth really enter the body

As reall

Corporeall

Substantiall creature and

Forceth that Creature

To his desired ends

Useth the organs of that body

To speake withall

To make his compact up

With his hideous agents;

The heretic, the heathen, the witch

His genital is sore and scaly

And his semen cold as ice.

Maybe she was stirred

By our painful interrogation.

For God's compassion she yell'd

And lo! How mercyful we were!

The burning flames of the stake

May slacken her torture in hell.

`There is no peace,´

Says the Lord, `for the wicked.´

We'll have no peace

'til they are all purged.

`There is no peace,´

Says my God, `to the wicked.´

We'll have no peace

'til they all burn.

The wicked are

Like the troubled sea

Whose waters

Cast up mire and dirt.

We'll have no peace

'til our country is cleansed.

`There is no rest,´

Says the Lord, `for the wicked.´

We'll have no peace

'til they are all purged.
