If I Were the Devil

from West of Zanzibar by Subterranean Howl

/

lyrics

If I were the devil I'd make you shout and scream
At just the thought of me
If I were the devil I'd make you clutch the earth
Just to feel my shadow
I'd make you chew my food and you would revel in the poison
That they bring to me
If I were the prince and every morning saw my glory
This Sun would set your feet on fire

If I were the devil I'd burn all your books
And you'd just read my name
If I were the devil all the soldiers would die in vain
Just to see my face
Feel my embrace
If I were the devil I would swallow every soul
And you would beg them out
Like Ruth before her king
If I were the devil I would coil and constrict you
And then let you go
Because hell is being alone
