Am I was granted an audience in the devils maze, C I sat by his throne and we talked for days, F He told me about his ancient battles with arch-angels, C He told me loneliness was the torture most painful, A He said if I filled my lifetime with sin, Em I could earn myself a seat that was right by him, G And if I didn't, that was fine by him, D Cos everyday a million souls just fly right in, Am He could barely keep up with the souls of all the people, C It's not easy being sole controller of all evil, F He said “Too many people want to burn with me, C I swear free wills a bitch and so's eternity, A So what you learn from me might save you from suffering, Em You don't want to see the bowels of the earth rupturing, G Take a breath, suck it in, I got more to tell, D And time's of no consequence when you're in hell.” A I had a lot a questions; Em I asked the devil to explain C Why I always think that people have it in for me? F And why I always feel like the sky's closing in on me? G This is what he said, C “The sky's not falling it's just angels committing suicide, F Cos they're so saddened by humans using genocide, C As a political tool, considering all you humans have, F The way you act belittles you all, C Now hell is so full that we started expanding, A Damnation is a business and the markets demanding.” Em I asked him if the city streets buckled and cracked, G And hell rose to earth then would heaven collapse? D He smiled; I knew that smile was his response, Am I thought to myself, he's almost got what he wants, C He said “I'll tell you my one desire, F That's for earth itself to become my empire, C Every politicians like a gun for hire. A Even the church of nativity's come under fire, Em So you can tell I'm getting close to my goal, G Of creating a world where I can torture every soul.” D Sitting with the devil, this is what I learned, A Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned, Em It's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned, G To make those same mistakes again and again, D Sitting with the devil, this is what I learned, A Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned, Em It's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned, G To make those same mistakes D again and again, again and again, A again and again, again and again. Em And Time keeps, time keeps slipping away, A Like I keep, I keep slipping away, Em My time keeps, time keeps slipping away, A Like I keep, I keep slipping away, G My time keeps, time keeps slipping away, D Like I keep, I keep slipping away, Em My time keeps, time keeps slipping away, A Like I keep, Like I keep - G D I keep slipping away, I keep slipping away...
