The title of “In the Devil’s Territory” is a phrase that, like a number of Stevens’s works, draws from the work of American short-story writer Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964). She once said,
My subject in fiction is the action of grace in territory held largely by the devil."
As one can gather from...
[Verse 1]
Be still and know your sign
The beast will arrive in time
[Chorus 1]
We stayed a long, long time
We stayed a long, long time
To see you, to beat you
To see you at last
[Verse 2]
I saw the dragons drying
I saw the witches whine
[Chorus 2]
We stayed a long, long time
But I'm not afraid to die
To see you, to meet you
To see you at last
[Verse 3]
I stole my father's shoes
I pulled His pockets too
[Chorus 3]
We stayed a long, long time
We stayed a long, long time
To see you, to beat you
To see you, to meet you
To see you at last
