Symphony for the Devil / Sympathy for the Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole many a man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
What's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Hung around St. Petersburg
'Til I found it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in pain
Rode a tank, held a general's rank
While the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank, ah!

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Well, what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?"
While after all, it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for long, long years
And I laid many a man's soul to waste
You look out

Pleased to meet you
Oh, hope you guessed my name
What's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

[Instrumental Break]

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, call me Lucifer
I'm in need of some restraint
When you meet me show some courtesy
Some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
What's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
