The Devil’s Plaything Lyrics by Backworld

Anthems From the Pleasure Park

1999

[Verse 1: Joseph Budenholzer]
And he came to me on a Northern wind
And he flooded my mind in a river of light
And he wrapped my body in a breath of fire
Then he hid my soul in a cloak of night
Like a devil's plaything

[Verse 2: Joseph Budenholzer]
And he spoke to me in a language lost
And he turned my head with sweet seduction
And he filled my body with flames of ice
Then he touched my soul and then he gave it back
Like a devil's plaything

[Chorus: Joseph Budenholzer & Alexandra Rodriguez]
As in a ruin where violets grow
In moss covered fields
On cold marble stone
And love sometimes steals into a heart

[Verse 3: Joseph Budenholzer & *Alexandra Rodriguez*]
And he came to me on a Northern wind
*And he flooded my mind in a river of light*
And he wrapped my body in a breath of fire
*And he hid my soul in a cloak of night*
And he spoke to me in a language lost
*And he turned my head with sweet seduction*
And he filled my body with flames of ice
*Then he touched my soul and then he gave it back*
Like the devil's plaything

[Chorus: Joseph Budenholzer & Alexandra Rodriguez]
As in a ruin where violets grow
In moss covered fields
On cold marble stone
And love sometimes steals into a heart
Love sometimes steals into a heart
Love sometimes steals into a heart
Love sometimes steals into a heart
Love sometimes steals into a heart
