lyrics

the devil has designed my death
and he's waiting to be sure
that plenty of his black sheep die
before he finds a cure

oh Lord Jesus do you think i've served my time?
the eight legs of the devil now are crawling up my spine

the firm hand of the devil now
is rockin me to sleep
i force my blind eyes open Lord
but i'm sinkin in the deep

oh Lord Jesus do you think i've served my time?
the eight legs of the devil now are crawling up my spine

i go to sleep each evening now
dreamin of the grave
and see the friends i used to know
callin out my name

oh Lord Jesus do you think i've served my time?
the eight legs of the devil now are crawling up my spine

oh Lord Jesus here's the news from those below
the eight legs of the devil will not let my people go
