Lyrics
There's a part of me which hopes the Christians got it right
That God is real and Hell exists where sinners burn
'Cause then I know we'll meet again upon some flame-lit starless night
Chained side by side to stand in line and wait our turn
I'd love to spend eternity in purgatory with you
Each breath of living death evokes such sweet nightmares, it's true
Forever wracked with torment seems a paltry price to pay
If they'll let me be a Devil for a day
'Tis often said the good die young, that's how we've lived so long
And none deserve damnation more than we
So I'll raise a hearty toast when I feel my vertebraes roast
Glad just knowing you're there suffering with me
Your pretty pleas for mercy I'm afraid will be in vain
We compliment each other like the martyr and his pain
My soul hangs in the balance, let them have their wicked way
If they'll let me be a Devil for a day
Love is blind, unkind and stupid
Just another stunt for Cupid
Vile in the games we play
Purple patch, black lies betray
Humans are such futile creatures
Shallow-minded and capricious
Underhanded, cruel, deceitful
Hell is merely of the people
For this is wisdom
To love, to live
To take what fate or the gods may give
To ask no question
To make no prayer
But to kiss the lips and caress the hair
Speed passion's ebb as you greet its flow
To have, to hold
And, in time, let go
They'll torture me without restraint
I'll take it all, make no complaint
A smile across my broken face will play
If they'll let me be a Devil
In my duties, I could revel
If they'll let me be a Devil for a day
Love is blind, unkind and stupid
Just another stunt for Cupid
Vile in the games we play
Purple patch, black lies betray
Humans are such futile creatures
Shallow-minded and capricious
Underhanded, cruel, deceitful
Hell is merely of the people
