This is the one and only song on the album that has the Devil as it’s narrator. True to form, he characterizes himself as a boastful, malicious jerk. He promises the men and women who took advantage of him that he’ll hunt them to the ends of the earth—and beyond.
According to the band’s lyrics on B...
[Verse 1]
I'll leave a trail of fire across this desert
Just to see the desperation in your eyes
I'll leave a trail of fire across this desert
Just to see the desperation in your eyes
[Verse 2]
You think you've suffered, well, you ain't seen shit yet
The pain won't set in for a long, long time
I've fought off angels with my hands behind my back
I've set the heavens all on fire
[Chorus]
So sleep in a fallout shelter tonight, one and all
And wrap your children up real tight
And stop the bleeding 'fore it starts
And stop the bleeding 'fore it starts
So sleep in the fallout shelter tonight, one and all
And wrap your children up real tight
And stop the bleeding 'fore it starts
And stop the bleeding 'fore it starts
So sleep in a fallout shelter tonight, one and all
And wrap your children up real tight
And stop the bleeding 'fore it starts
And stop the bleeding 'fore it starts
[Outro]
I'll leave a trail of fire across this desert
Just to see the desperation in your eyes
