The Devil’s Work Lyrics by Ex-Voto

Don’t Look Back

0

[Chorus]
The devil's work lies in idle hands
We must be sinners
The devil's work lies in idle hands
We must be sinners

The darkness comes and there's no trace of light
Standing here alone, my only plight
I close my eyes and my head starts spinning around
If I could see who's to come, you know it'll help end my fright
Like a lonely ship lost at sea I ride your tide
My soul is sinking now, it clears my mind
I can feel your body in waves, pressing me

[Chorus]
The devil's work lies in idle hands
We must be sinners
The devil's work lies in idle hands
We must be sinners

I can feel your sweat dripping down on me
Trapped in this darkness, I feel the need to be free... to be free... to be free
I close my eyes and my head starts spinning around
My idle hands are the devil's only tools
I load this gun and I put it next to you
My idle hands are the devil's only tools
He pulls the trigger and there's nothing I can do
My idle hands are the devil's only tools

We must be sinners
