The Grand Devilry

He is the wolf

that haunts the night

and the full moon's

blasphemous light.

He is the apple

that brought us sin

and he is evil

on the murderers grin...

If you feel fear it is the devil,

the old comrade of the dark

and if you hide you will fail to see,

the grand devilry!

So if you hate it is his stage,

he plays the wicked and the wretched

and if you hide you will fail to see

the grand devilry!

He is the poison

in our heart.

The flaming word

in each poets art.

He is the weapon

that leads through war

and he is the light

of the morningstar...

If you feel fear it is the devil,

the old comrade of the dark

and if you hide you will fail to see,

the grand devilry!

So if you hate it is his stage,

he plays the wicked and the wretched

and if you hide you will fail to see

the grand devilry!
